OBSTACLES are opportunities for grace. The dark and difficult aspects of our own nature, brought into the light of love, can actually become doorways to encountering the nearer presence of God.

Cheryl G- Lord, please watch over Cheryl and her sailor recruit. Keep them both strong through the changes the next 8 weeks will bring and strengthen their relationship even more.

Dearest God
Please be with AlaskaAnn and her family. Bless the latest pregnancy so her sailor can have the thrill of being a new uncle. Bless the medical technicians in Germany and help this be a healthy pregnancy with blessed results.
Keep Samuel Alexander as their angel.
And watch over all our armed forces and their families.
Amen

That Hymn is one of my favorites
Comment by carols_kitchen on August 23, 2008 at 6:23pm
For those in the storm's path, I am reminded of this hymn

IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL



When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blessed assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

- Words by Horatio G. Spafford, 1873
- Music by Philip P. Bliss, 1876

The words to this hymn was written after two major traumas in Spafford's life. The first was the Great Chicago Fire of October 1871, which ruined him financially. Shortly after, while crossing the Atlantic, all four of Spafford's daughters died in a collision with another ship. Spafford's wife Anna survived and sent him the now famous telegram: "SAVED ALONE." Several weeks later, as Spafford's own ship passed near the spot where his daughters died, he was inspired to write these words.

Bliss originally named the tune "Ville de Havre" after the ship on which Spafford's four girls perished, the SS Ville de Havre. Ironically, Bliss himself died in a tragic train wreck shortly after writing this music.

Ladies my heart is heavy.... please pray for all the Navy ships that are being deployed as I write this, to undisclosed places... My Sailor just arrived at the first duty station and the ship was out to sea on a shake down.... my sailor was suppose to be on hold until it got back into port... called this morn. and said that my sailor is being flown out to the ship, they are heading out for military support and may not be able to call or e-mail for weeks or even months. Please pray for the Sailors and their families during this time of no contact...this so hard.... and they will be protect by God..... I knew this was suppose to happen but the ship wasn't suppose to leave until FEB. so this is rather sudden and unexpected. I wasn't prepard for this...Thanks be to God my sailor was just home and we got to see our Sailor for 10 days.

From the Upper Room:
Wednesday’s Reflection

OUR EARTHLY existence takes on new meaning when we remember that God chose to put on our humanity and chose to wear that humanity as an ordinary working man. Our ordinary existence is not so ordinary when we remember that God chose this existence to give us a true picture of the divine. Therefore there are no unimportant moments in any lifetime. All are precious gifts of opportunity to know and serve the One who made us and chose to stand with us and like us in the gift of life.
