It is well with my soul



This a very old hymn, Justin sang it at Church today, so I looked it up. Great story about the man who wrote it  in 1873. Now my curiousity has been satisfied. Beautiful song, it's good to hear songs that have a story behind them. Pastor Janet wants to do an anointing on me, so after Wow on Wed. she'll do it. It's a first for me.

Real

"What is Real?", asked the Rabbit one day

"Real isn't how you were made", said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."

"Does it hurt?" asked the rabbit.

"Sometimes", said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real, you don't mind being hurt."

Does it happen all at once, like being wound up", he asked, "Or bit-by-bit?"

"It doesn't happen all at once", said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been rubbed off, and your eyes drop out, and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real, you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

Miracles

We have been studying Acts in Wow, and yesterday some of the gals at my table shared stories where God had preformed miracles in their midsts. I spent this morning working on next weeks lesson and thinking about miracles. Why they happen to some and not others? It's a mystery for sure, sometimes the person is a believer and sometimes not. Many times with the non believer this experience opens their eyes and brings them to the Lord. It's supernatural occurrence that's hard to put in a neat little box. I've heard people say if you don't get healed it's because the person didn't have enough faith. I don't think that's right,we don't know what's in someones heart. My Father in law had a heart attack that would have killed most people, yet he's driving around Lapine he's got heartburn! There are miracles all around us but we don't always notice. In Acts 4:8:10 Paul healed a cripple because God gave certain people the power to heal. I think he does this to get our attention. Have a good day,

Weiners

After a month hiatus my little friends spent the night with us, in bed and under our covers! Puff used to sleep on our bed, don't really miss that. Sunny here but east wind and chilly.
