It is well with my soul

No matter how many times I hear that song I tear up. Our family have been moved many times by the story of this hymn. Years ago, when Rachel was learning to play hymns she learned this song. It became a comfort to all of our family when we had hard days of suffering. On some days of turmoil, when your soul is at its lowest, you can't do anything but think of hymns that God has given you in the past. It has been a comfort to our whole family to hear strains of comforting hymns like this flowing through our house. Last year, when Hannah was in the choir at Truett-McConnell, they sang a beautiful version of It Is Well and our church sings it often. Hymns minister to us in so many ways and I'm thankful that God has given them to us.
