A Blessed Encounter: Meeting Terry Terrell
How One Musician's Story of Faith and Resilience Touched My Life
I was blessed one day to meet Terry at a revival that brought people from all over to be saved. I loved his music from the start, and it makes me feel good. Whenever I am down, and I need to be lifted up I listen to the words in his songs.
I can't get enough of listening to him. I brought several of his CD's and I sat down to talk with him. He told me about his childhood and how he came to God. It gave me chills to hear his story. He talked about his mom and how he lost her to heaven.
Here is the song that he sings about his mother and how he didn’t get a chance to tell her goodbye and to say he loved her. And I feel the same about all my loved ones, if there was only a phone and stairs to heaven to visit them.
