I love the anthem we are singing Sunday. The story behind it is inspiring as well.The writer of the song has lost everyone but even so it is well with his soul.

I must admit I feel a struggle to smile. I need to unpack my toolbox and use the things that help me adjust my mood.

I’m glad it is Friday and I can find some rest.

I will go to the river where things are uncomplicated and lovely. I will count ducks.

I will go to the ballgame where I can hold up a sign .For though they never scored they managed to win.

Runny nose makes me grateful for  tissues. Scratchy throat makes me fearful that I will not be in good speaking voice Sunday. But the Lord will equip me and calm me.” Whatever my lot though has taught me to say It is well  It is well with my soul.”
