Encouragements: Even If/Mercy Me

Posted on by JosephinesDesigns.com

Hey Sweet Friends,

This song literally got me through the death of my Daddy and then less than 5 months later the death of my Mom. I can remember barely able to sing with this song on the radio as we left their home for what was the last time when it was in tact.

No matter what….our God is good…then and now. We all struggle….just remember even if….God can deliver us!! Such a great song and testimony.

Be safe, be healthy, be encouraged and keep trusting the Lord…He loves you so very very much!!

Love, hugs and prayers…k 🙂

Hello Dear Friends,

Please keep your faith!!!

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
If our God is with (for) us, who can be against us. Romans 8:31

Please let us join our hearts together in prayer for our fellow men, women and children!

Let us pray for all leadership on every level…world, country, state, county/providence and city/town.

Let us pray for all on the front lines…Drs, nurses, specialists, research scientists, manufactures of equipment, all service people: military, police, ambulance, fire, etc.

We serve a Mighty Savior.

Please Lord heal our people!!! Our hope is in You and You alone!!!

When sheltered in….we can pray Dear Friends!!

Let us lift our voices in prayer to a mighty God!!!!

Be safe, shelter in and keep serving Jesus well…He loves you so well!!!

Love, hugs and prayers,

Hey Dear Friends,

Alistair Begg Has been such an encouragement…well I can’t even remember how many years. We even took our son to the University he is apart when driving through CA many years ago. At that time our son was looking at many seminaries while trying to understand God’s will for his life.

I hope you are encouraged…and he is also making reference to a hymn….and well, many of you know how much I enjoy hymns.

I pray you are safe, healthy and I encourage you to keep serving the Lord well…He loves you so very very much!!

Love, prayers and hugs,

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

Posted on by JosephinesDesigns.com

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
