THROUGH IT ALL

The above video is of Andrae Crouch singing the beautiful song he wrote entitled, Through It All.  Many of you from my generation will remember this song.  It sums up how I feel tonight.  

The past few months have been particularly hard, as life often is.  In October my husband went to have cataract surgery and they discovered something wrong with his heart.  They sent him for tests and he was admitted to the hospital.  He stayed there for three days but came home better, Praise the Lord!  In December, he had his cataract surgery and no longer has to wear glasses.

Also in December, a few days before Christmas, a friend of ours was admitted to the hospital and placed in ICU.  He could have died, but thank God he didn't and came home finally on Christmas Eve.

Then two weeks ago my husband's sister was brought to the emergency room having violent seizures.  We thought she was going to die that night, but thank God we had a few more days with her before she passed.

  Her funeral was so beautiful.  Her brother, (my husband), preached her homegoing and our daughter sang the most beautiful, comforting song.  Friends and family were there to celebrate her life.  It was too short, as all of ours will be, even if we live to be 120.  The Bible tells us that man's days are as a vapor.  It is true.  Life is short, but eternity is long.

I've had several people remark to me in the past few days that there seems to be death and troubles on every hand.  I must admit it does seem that way.  This is why I like this song by Andrae Crouch.  It reminds me that through it all we can trust in Jesus.  We rely on Him.  Jesus said He would never leave us or forsake us and that He would go with us to the very end!  He will do what He says He will do.  He cannot lie.

So through it all, let us trust in Him!
