| In front of R and G's home - 29 Sept 2014 |
At the end of three most wonderful days in Shetland, cousin R and her husband G drove us to the airport and then sat with us in the waiting area while we waited to board the plane. As we walked out onto the runway, they stood at the glass window...watching, waving. Our trip to Shetland ended just as it began, with this dear family watching and waving at that window, making sure we were safely off on the next leg of our journey.

While we were visiting and reminiscing before we said our final goodbye, I told them that the song running through my head right then was a song we sing at church, dear to our hearts: God Be With You Till We Meet Again. It’s such a lovely sentiment, and one that makes me choke up every time I sing it. In fact, we all got a little wet in the eyes when I mentioned it.
Truly, God be with you till we meet again!
1. God be with you till we meet again,
By His counsels guide, uphold you,
With His sheep securely fold you,*
God be with you till we meet again.
Refrain:
Till we meet, till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus’ feet;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.
2. God be with you till we meet again,
When life’s perils thick confound you,
Put His arms unfailing round you,
God be with you till we meet again.
3. God be with you till we meet again,
Keep love’s banner floating o’er you,
Smite death’s threat’ning wave before you,
God be with you till we meet again.
