Sometimes, all it takes is an old hymn to put things back in perspective again. This morning was a typical Sunday morning in our house. You know what I am talking about. Everyone’s tired, everyone’s cranky, just when you get one kid dressed, another one has either spit up on themselves, or just decided to take their clothes off. Everyone’s late, all you want it is a shower and maybe 5 more minutes of sleep. Add to that fact that Brynn decided that Saturday Night was a good night for “Brynn’s Night Up” and you have one tired household. No sooner do we drag everyone into church, get them put into classrooms and slide quietly into a pew, comes the hymn “Great is Thy Faithfulness”. The words on the overhead couldn’t have been clearer if I was standing directly in front of it. “Great is thy faithfulness, morning by morning, new mercies I see. All I have needed thy hand has provided.” As if that wasn’t enough, then comes the words “strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow”. Great is His faithfulness! Suddenly the day got brighter, the luggage I felt like my eyes were carrying went away and energy was restored. Thank you for your new mercies each day and your faithfulness, Lord unto me…
