Tired and Blessed

February 2, 2006


I'm rather tired.  The children have been getting on each other's nerves and I have lost my temper more than once.  Here's a song for any of you who may be weary of spirit, body, or both:  This is for my sister:
Be Still, My SoulBe still, my soul, the Lord is on your side:
Bear patiently the cross of grief and pain;
leave to your God to order and provide;
in every change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul, your best, your heavenly Friend
thro' thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul, Your God will undertake
to guide the future as he has the past
your hope, your confidence let nothing shake;
all now mysterious shall be bright at last. 
Be still, my soul, the waves and winds still know
his voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.
Be still, my soul, the hour is hastening on
when we shall be forever with the Lord,
when disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored
Be still my soul when change and tears are past,
all safe and blessed we shall meet at last
