It Is Well With My Soul

Good evening. Tuesday blog. I did not come up with this title! These words came from God, through a man who suffered great loss! I love this title, because it’s true! I am not a theologian or a preacher! I am a not perfect person! A woman who knows the pain of many things! These beautiful, true words, if you have faith in Jesus, will also mean the same to you! When I was 28, with 2 children of my own and 2 stepdaughters, and of course Denny! Lived in our house, in Toledo about a year! We started going to church with neighbors! Mainstreet, in Walbridge and Pastor Graham! I did not know Jesus. I was only 26 years old when I heard this, hymn, for the first time! I just sobbed and did not know why! After I became a believer, I knew I wanted this song at my funeral! We chose it for Denny’s celebration! It’s a song of great faith! Then I learned the story of the song! Horatio G. Spafford, 1873, knew great loss. He had already lost a young son, he lost all of his material things in the great Chicago fire! His wife and 4 daughters were on a ship. The telegram he received from his wife, said, all is lost, what should I do? Who else do we know that suffered like that? Job! He was already grieving the loss of a child and his wife was disabled! 4 daughters buried at sea! He sat down and wrote these powerful words! My daughter bought me a shirt with the title on it! It doesn’t mean that your soul, heart and mind are not grieving! These words came from deep grief and faith! His wife was 1 of 46 that survived! 266 went down! This song came from knowing pain in a deep and personal way! I do know how it is to watch my love, Denny struggle and suffer for 7 years! My belief in God, and my faith have grown stronger every day! My mind knows it, my heart will catch up! Horatio was a successful lawyer! His job did not save him from loss! We walk around complaining about nails and hair! I know where I am going, when my time is done. I have that blessed assurance. Not because I earned it, because I am a sinner, saved by grace! Amazing Grace, my other favorite song! Nothing on this earth can save you, none can be taken with you! Your worldly goods are not going to fit in your casket! It’s the way I want for the rest of my life! Be patient Denny, Angel Wings, I’ll be there at some point. Death is not fearful, when you know the one, Jesus, who took it all on the cross! I love you all and I miss you all! Here are some images about that song! Good night. God bless.❤️🤗🙏🏻🤗❤️
