Well with my soul.....

It is Sunday night about 10:00 pm and my house is so very quiet....Coach Burns is sleeping, Annabelle is sleeping, Lil Ben is sleeping and Levi is too....Quiet times like these are very scarce in our house! As I sit here typing, I hear the washing machine churning away with one of the multiple loads of the day...all is well at least for the moment.

Today we sang - "It Is Well With My Soul", a hymn that was written by a man in total despair over losing his family at sea - yet he found a peace to say it is well with my soul. Today on GFBC program - Bro. Kevin Hamm spoke of Job and all that he went through - none of which he brought on himself - yet he worshipped anyway.

To quote Beth Moore - sometimes you gotta praise first and feel it later! I have been there and done that. I have praised through the good times and the bad...I will continue to do so...One day - I pray that I will be able to say "it is well with my soul" while still on this earth...I am still a work in progress with a LONG way to go!

Tonight we sang my favorite song ever - What a day that will be
The words go like this:
There is coming a day,
When no heart aches shall come,
No more clouds in the sky,
No more tears to dim the eye,
All is peace forever more,
On that happy golden shore,
What a day, glorious day that will be.

What a day that will be,
When my Jesus I shall see,
And I look upon His face,
The One who saved me by His grace;
When He takes me by the hand,
And leads me through the Promised Land,
What a day, glorious day that will be.

There'll be no sorrow there,
No more burdens to bear,
No more sickness, no pain,
No more parting over there;
And forever I will be,
With the One who died for me,
What a day, glorious day that will be.

What a day that will be,
When my Jesus I shall see,
And I look upon His face,
The One who saved me by His grace;
When He takes me by the hand,
And leads me through the Promised Land,
What a day, glorious day that will be

Until He comes or takes me home, I pray this life down here can be well with my soul.
