November 11, 2017 Saturday

Didn’t sleep well but I am some rested.  Last night was a great time of prayer and I am humbled by God allowing me this blessing.  In the midst of so much pain and loss I can honestly say that I am at peace and am filled with joy. 

I could feel bad about not being able to go places and do things but I really don’t feel bad and I travel so much through prayer.  I want most of all to be with My Love and my family and I have that.  I would not trade all that was for what I have.  I am so very blessed!

Bonnie and I had a wonderful time with our devotion from Near to the Heart of God which gives a short history of a hymn and the words.  The words are always special but this hymn by Anne Steele really touched me.

Father, whate’er of earthly bliss

Thy sovereign will denies,

Accepted at Thy throne,

let this  My humble prayer, arise:

Give me a calm and thankful heart,

From every murmur free;

The blessing of Thy grace impart,

And make me live to Thee.

Let the sweet hope that Thou art mine

My life and death attend,

Thy presence through my journey shine,

And crown my journey’s end.
