Rebecca's Walk

**I borrowed the following photo from my sister, Elizabeth's blog. You can see more photos there.

Grandpa's funeral was such a testament to the kind of man he was and the life he lived. I'm sure when he chose to give his life to Christ those many years ago and live his life by that choice, that he had no idea how many many people through the years would be impacted...all because he followed after Christ faithfully.

As I reflected back on the events of this day, a song has kept running through my head....

"Another Soldier's Coming Home" written/composed by Janet Paschal

His back is bent and weary His voice is tired and low His sword is worn from battle And his steps have gotten slow But he used to walk on water Or it seemed that way to me I know he moved some mountains And never left his knees

Strike up the band Assemble the choir Another soldier's coming home Another warrior hears the call he's waited for so long He'll battle no more But he's won his wars Make sure Heaven's table has room for at least one more Sing a welcome song Another soldier's coming home

He faced the winds of sorrow But his heart knew no retreat He walked in narrow places Knowing Christ knew no defeat But now his steps turn homeward So much closer to the prize He's sounding kind of homesick And there's a longing in his eyes.

Strike up the band Assemble the choir Another soldier's coming home Another warrior hears the call he's waited for so long He'll battle no more But he's won his wars Make sure Heaven's table has room for at least one more Sing a welcome song Another soldier's coming home.

Well Done, Thou Good and Faithful Servant!
