In her later years, my mother-in-law enjoyed the calm activity of coloring pages. Many of the fill-in drawings were quite intricate and colorful, especially the Mandalas, but others were plainer. “It is well, with my soul” was a simple page, mostly the letters, but she had taped the finished art up on her kitchen wall. Last week, that transaction of her heart and soul was finalized when she passed from this earthly life. One’s soul is perfect when saving faith has been placed in the God of eternity, as hers was.
The phrase “It is well, with my soul” is not a Scripture; it is a line from Horatio Spafford’s famous hymn, “When Peace Like a River.” The truth of the lyrics is summed up plainly by Psalm 62:1 –
“My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him.”
Thank you for sharing this. I hope Craig , you, and others find peace as she rest with her Lord.❤️
So beautiful…. and true !
Sorry for your family’s loss. I have been reminded lately:
Dying is the price we pay for living, Grieving is the price we pay for loving.
Though death and grief are hard, we are very grateful for both- life and love.
Each given by the LORD and in HIS great mercy He is with us in it all!
I’m so sorry for about the loss of Craig’s mom. My prayers are with you both and Craigs family.
Beautifully said about our dear Marilyn. I love that she hung it up and her husband found it after she went to the nursing home… I think it has helped uncle Louis in this past week to know where she really went after death, and that she knew for sure she was going there!
