The following video was on TV one night last week and it really blessed me. The quartet (The Isaacs) is very well known in Southern Gospel. The song they are singing, "It is Well With My Soul", has been around for a very long time. Until I watched this video I did not know how long or who had written it or why, but one of the lady's explains the details of this song.
One of my very dear friends went to be with the Savior last week. She was a very loving person. She loved God dearly and was a great encourager for a lot of people, one of which was me. She had a lot of health problems and one that came on very suddenly. The doctors gave her two months to live but it was only about 2 or 3 weeks. I talked with her the week after she came home from the hospital and she was at peace and told me that God was in control. When I heard this song I knew I had to post it as a tribute to her and the Christian life that she lived. You can go to My Playlist on the left sidebar and put it on pause so you can hear this.
