This is My Story: Beverly Heid #4, Friends Are Where You Find Them

This is the fourth in a series of devotional videos featuring Beverly Carmichael Heid.   In this video, Bev shares how she has found friends in unexpected places, and how those friends have helped her cope with illness and sorrow, even as she has been able to help them.

Beverly, affectionately known as Bev to her friends, is a self-taught pianist who learned to play to bring cheer, hope, and reminders of God's presence at times of personal illness.  She developed quite a list of songs, and has shared her piano playing with persons who find a similar sense of peace from listening to her hymns of faith.

Bev also contributes her music to DisciplesNet Church, an online church especially created to connect with people not able to attend a traditional church, or wishing to connect with the reassuring videos and other resources that are available 24/7.    Bev's music is featured on DisciplesNet in many worships, and in special longer videos of her songs.

A Psalm for “Times I Feel Lost”

This is a paraphrase of the 23rd Psalm, intended especially for meditation when you are feeling lost. It was written by Peggy McMahon and appears in her book, Father, Hear My Psalms. The music is "Day by Day", written by Karolina Sandell-Berg in 1865 and arranged and played by Beverly Carmichael Heid.

The words are these:

The Lord is my pathfinder, I shall not lose my way.
He makes me lie down in meadows of summer bloom;
He leads me to still waters where I drink from his cup.

He restores me in purpose; He leads me to find meaning
in the smallest of offerings.

Yea, though I walk through the canyon of deepest dark,
I am not lost.
For the light of your heart's love is never extinguished,
Your nearness is never absent.

You prepare a sanctuary for me in the deep of the canyon walls,
I receive your true Word.
You anoint my head with belongingness,
my heart entrains to the pulse of Your heavenly voice.
I hear You call my name and I shall answer.

Surely all courage and direction shall be with me
all the days of my life;
And I shall dwell in the presence of the Lord forever.
Amen.
