My favorite song is:
IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL!
Whatever my lot,
Thou has taught me to say
It is well with my soul,
It is well
It is well
IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL!
When you are about to lose
your home,
When they have repossed that
luxury car, that was draining
the life out of you...
IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL
When you just came from
picking out your child's
casket...
with tears streaming
down your face and your
teeth gritted
IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL
When friends or family hurt
you sooo very deep you think
your heart shall never heal
IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL
So often people look at my
favorite song as a funeral song.
To me, it is quite the opposite.
IT SPEAKS LIFE TO THE
BROKEN-HEARTED
DOWN-TRODDEN
the HOPELESS
the DEPRESSED
the OPPRESSED
LIFE...LIFE...LIFE...LIFE...
To me, it is a prayer when I
cannot pray. To sing over and
over again,
IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL...
Is my FAITH/HOLY SPIRIT
praying for me, a family member,
or a dear friend, when I am so
overwhelmed with grief, (that I
know it is going to be alright
because God is in control) but all
I can do is tell God, I know He is
working the good for us but my flesh
doesn't understand, doesn't want to
understand but my spirit sings out
IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL.
IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL.
IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL.
My PRAYER for today...
That my friend Diana and all the
others suffering from the flu be
healed by Jesus.
That my friend Rebecca's hands heal
and bless her husband Steve, Lord
That all the families that had children
go home from Sandy Hook, Lord,
heal their hearts, where they will
just remember
THE GOOD TIMES
WITH THERE CHILDREN,
IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL,
AND
I PRAY
IT IS WELL WITH YOUR SOUL.

That is also one of my favorite songs. I feel so bless when I sing it and also cry because God is so GOOD to Me!

Good to visit here today! Please add my brother-in-law John to your prayer list. He is my hubby's younger brother. Had a stroke in Montana where he lives. The hospital there was trying to get him out (no ins) but he is a Vet. Here is the catch because he served during a time when there was no active war going on he can not have in. pt. benefits. My SIL and her hubby flew him out here and he got some out pt. treatment at the VA. But last night they had to admit him. The docs here say that other hospital should never have released him! But he is comfortable now as they made him headache cocktail and it seems to give him a little relief and rest. They had to jump thru hoops to get him admitted. Glad he is near phamily.
I hope your week is wonderful.
