Happy Birthday Baby Aaron!!

Glory Baby

Glory baby you slipped away as fast as we could say baby…baby..
You were growing, what happened dear?
You disappeared on us baby…baby..
Heaven will hold you before we do
Heaven will keep you safe until we’re home with you…
Until we’re home with you…

Miss you everyday
Miss you in every way
But we know there’s a
day when we will hold you
We will hold you
You’ll kiss our tears away
When we’re home to stay
Can’t wait for the day when we will see you
We will see you
But baby let sweet Jesus hold you
‘till mom and dad can hold you…
You’ll just have heaven before we do
You’ll just have heaven before we do

Sweet little babies, it’s hard to
understand it ‘cause we’re hurting
We are hurting
But there is healing
And we know we’re stronger people through the growing
And in knowing-
That all things work together for our good
And God works His purposes just like He said He would…
Just like He said He would…

BRIDGE:
I can’t imagine heaven’s lullabies
and what they must sound like
But I will rest in knowing, heaven is your home
And it’s all you’ll ever know…all you’ll ever know…

It Is Well With My Soul!

I have always loved this song, it being on my FAV's list, and after going to the Women of Joy Conference this past weekend and hearing/seeing the very gifted music group "Selah", I learned why God has place this song in my heart!!

This is a version of the story behind the song that I found online.

Horatio Spafford was a 43 year old lawyer. He lived in a north side suberb of Chicago with his wife, Anna, and their five children.

In 1871, his only son died.

A few months later, the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 consumed Spafford's real estate investments. He lost his entire life savings.

Two years later, Spafford and his family decided to take a vacation to Europe. However, Spafford was delayed by last minute business.

He sent his wife and 4 daughters on the S.S. Ville Du Havre as scheduled, promising to follow in a few days.

On November 22, 1873, the ship was struck by an iron sailing vessel, and it sank in 12 minutes. 226 people were killed.

When the survivors of the shipwreck landed in Europe, Spafford cabled her husband, "Saved alone. What shall I do?"

Spafford immediately left Chicago to bring his wife home.

In the midst of his sorrow, while sailing near the place of his daughters' deaths, he wrote the words to the hymn "It Is Well With My Soul".

In spite of their tragedy, in 1881 the Spafford's moved to Jerusalem to meet the needs of the people. Through their service, the Spafford's were able to share Christ with the local Muslim and Jewish communities.
