IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL

Before I got up this morning I was lying in bed and praying and thinking about some things on my mind and it came to me It's not about how "I" feel or what "I" think and I thought about JOB and all he lost and went through and how faithful he continued to be and I thought about the story behind the song IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL and if you don't know it you can pull it up on internet but here is a little bit of the story and how the hymn came to be. A chicago lawyer had suffered unimaginable tradegy he lost his only son at four to scarlet fever and he was into real estate and the great chicago fire destroyed all of his holdings aware of the toll it had taken on his family he decided to take his wife and four daughters on a trip to England and to help out his friend the famous D. L. Moody and at the last minute a business deal stopped him from going but his wife and four daughters went on ahead of him and the vessel had colided with another and all four daughters died and many days later he recieved a message from his wife that said "SAVED ALONE" They later had another daughter and she said during her fathers voyage passing through were the vessel had sank the captain called and told him of that being the area and he returned to his cabin and wrote IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL. Who am I...
