Stop and Sing

Money, bills, stress, worry....all these things vying for my attention and my thoughts. This summer has been challenging for our family. AC problems, water in both basements, sickness after sickness, unexpected tax bills, house expenses--the list goes on. We started to wonder if we were stuck in some sort of time warp...where will it end? What is the answer? This week it all climaxed....the appraisal on our 2nd house didn't come through....bills are higher than expected....we don't have enough money to pay everything.....basically we need 124,000 to cover our expenses....

How could this happen to us? what did we do wrong....or wait.....maybe it's nothing we did--maybe it's what God wants to DO--in us, through us, for us!

So I stopped worrying and starting singing....and the clouds parted! I had forgotten to stop and sing, forgotten to stop and praise God for His blessings and what He was going to do....forgotten How Great He is!

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
