“Our readers tell us about the day they felt the richest,” I am reading in an old Reader’s Digest on page 48. (January 2012)

Let me also tell you about the day I felt the richest.

The day I felt the richest reminds me of a hymn or chorus in German. At least  I think it is a chorus. Put me right if I am wrong.

Here are the words in German:

“Das war der schoenste Tag den Gott mir jemals gab, als Jesus in mein dunkles Erdendasein kam.” (“That was the most beautiful day that God ever gave me when Jesus came into my dark life on earth.”)

“WHEN JESUS SPOKE AGAIN TO THE PEOPLE HE SAID, ‘I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.'” – John 8:12

“O Happy Day!” is an English hymn written by Philip Doddride. Here is the chorus:

“Happy day, happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away!

He taught me how to watch and pray and live rejoicing ev’ry day;

happy day, happy day when Jesus washed my sins away!”

“THE NEXT DAY JOHN SAW JESUS COMING TOWARD HIM AND SAID, ‘LOOK, THE LAMB OF GOD, WHO TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD!'”- John 1:29

I still remember the day I felt the richest. And that feeling has never left me and will never leave me!
