The Privileged Few
I am one of the privileged few, as are most of you. We number about three thousand plus, there really aren’t very many of us. When you consider time and space, the Lord has bountifully blessed us by His grace.
Over five decades have come and gone but we still manage to carry on.
What is it we all share? It is something most precious and rare. It can’t be bought or traded, and never will become jaded.
We all took an oath that none has broken, this promise was sung rather than spoken. “I will sing to the Lord as long as I live and praise Thy great name while I have my being,” means so much each day as our lifetime is fleeing.
Some are brash, some are shy, but the one thing most of us are, Nordic Alumni.
We would not have this to share, if not for our mentor who chose us with care. We each have been touched by this gentle man We know he’s a tool in God’s great plan. To sing praise of our Savior, Jesus Christ, has been the whole meaning of his life. We thank God for this man’s great gift. As we reflect back how our spirit gets a lift.
Remember we were able to gaze at his face and be inspired to sing and praise. While others listened as we sang God’s word, as they ingested the meaning of what they heard.
Weston, May God continue to bless and keep you over life’s span. With all our love, you are truly, a Nobleman. |
