Encouragement: Spafford’s Hymn/It Is Well With My Soul

Hey Sweet Friends,

Here is the history of the amazing hymn: It Is Well With My Soul.

In the darkest times…”we entrust our souls to a faithful Creator.”

Be encouraged Sweet Friends, our God is with us!!

The Lord also encouraged Spafford to write this hymn after losing all his children. And on that long journey to meet his wife while crossing over the place his children passed away…he wrote this incredibly hymn of truly tremendous faith.

Jesus loves you and He will NEVER leave you or forsake you!!

You only need to trust in Him as Lord, you are His child!!

May this hymn be yours and my anthems each day of our lives…in the good and the bad!!

Be safe, be kind and know you are not alone!!

Enjoy the testimony and may you be encouraged!! And then listen or sing along to the hymn.

Let our voices rise and to praise and glorify a truly all mighty God!! One who loves you so very very much!!

Keep serving Him well Dear Ones!!

Love, hugs and prayers….k

sunset-hands-love-woman.jpg

Hello Sweet Friends,

Dr. Charles Stanley has been a blessing in so many lives (as well as mine for so many many years…I cannot remember 🙂 ).

This message is from January 24, 2018. I pray it encourages you today as it did when it was preached 2 years ago. He preaches of the Jesus then, today and tomorrow…the Word!! Such great encouragements!!!

We need this encouragement of knowing God’s presence in our individual lives then and now as we go through this new journey.

Be encouraged…God will never leave us or forsake us!!! Hold tight and trust our Lord in these difficult days.

Be safe and keep serving Him well!!

Love, hugs and prayers….k 🙂

Be safe!!

And keep serving Him well Sweet Friends…He loves you so very very much!!

Love, hugs and prayers….k
