"Higher Hands are leading me", that hymn always and Marie means, always, causes her tears to flow. Marie was touched when "Come as you are" , invited her to go to the Lord, just as she is, unkempt and with all her blemishes, no shame.....no worries.....but that hymn ...Higher Hands...really, really choked her up emotionally. Marie teared not because she was sad, or hurt but those were tears of reassurances..... of being found and knowing that all is well. Friends have you ever been lost as a child and wondered around in a daze, and in cold sweat crying out for your mum and dad.. and then suddenly, you see them runing towards you and when they reach you, held you so tightly in their arms...that all of a sudden, you let go of all the fear and the pain and you started brawling like crazy, because you know that you are now safe in loving arms??? That's exactly the feeling each time, I sing Higher Hands ....Reassurance and being re-assured.

Marie cooked this morning, chicken curry but all the time, the beautiful lyrics of this powerful song played over and over in her head. Her heart continued to be touched. It was a good thing, she cut and sliced tons of onions, because her eyes continued to brim over. There is a good chance, the chicken curry tasted extra salty and perhaps extra oomphy even, because "Higher Hands" lifted her up this morning. And yes, the tears that washed her eyes had cleanse them as well,giving her clarity of sight.......enabling her to see her way clearer.
