I realize I haven’t been posting to this site as I give way to other things, other priorities.
Surviving, hurt, fair weather friends, a moving on, a letting go.
Call it a trigger. Yesterday a hymn came to mind. No, it’s not even from amongst my favourites ”It is well with my Soul” or “How Great Thou Art” or “Great is Thy Faithfulness.”
It’s a hymn that contains the words, “I know not what the future hath of marvel or surprise…”
Many months have passed since the New Year 2009. It’ll soon be May, “the lusty month of May” according to Camelot. Somehow, I can’t help reflecting on what a wonderful philosophy of life this songwriter has, from his hymn.
Many of us are feeling the toll of the economic situation. It is inevitable that so often, especially nowadays, it is with a certain kind of foreboding that we get more and more anxious of what a day may bring.
Well, not so with this hymn writer. (I”m sorry, his/her name escapes me at this writing.) For the words inspire and encourage us with wonder, of marvel and surprise.
We can only hope for better things to come, with blessings from above.
