This last weekend had its ups and downs. You know those times when you just want the next day to come and be better? Well that's pretty much how it was. But I am not here to complain about that. I am here to express my gratitude for Tender Mercies in my life.
At the end of Council every day we sing a hymn then share our tender mercies of the day. The hymn that we sang was just what I needed to remember. It was "Where Can I Turn for Peace" #129. It just reminded me that in my rough times, there is somewhere and Someone that I can turn to for help. I was really grateful for that and hope that I, and all my friends and family will remember that in the future.
The words that brightened my day:
Where can I turn for peace? Where is my solace
When other sources cease to make me whole?
When with a wounded heart, anger or malice
I draw myself apart, searching my soul?
Where when my aching grows, where when I languish
Where in my need to know, where can I run?
Where is the quiet hand to calm my anguish?
Who, who can understand? He, only One.
He answers privately, reaches my reaching
In my Gethsemane, Savior and Friend.
Gentle the peace he finds for my beseeching.
Constant He is and kind, Love without end.
I hope everyone out there remembers this in their down times....I know I want to.
-still the odd one out-
