March 2024
Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

He Already Sees The Rainbow

This is a beautiful and strengthening song. Google the version sung by The Collingsworth Family if you'd like to hear it.

When the storm raged about them
The disciples were afraid
For the waves were high and the ship was tossed
They could not find their way
Then they awoke the Master
Saying, "Lord, please save us now"
He rebuked the winds and the sea grew calm
They all wondered how.
God sees the storm from the other side
He knows the lessons learned
And just beyond the clouds He sees clear skies
He speaks peace to the raging storm
When peace could not be found
He already sees the rainbow when we see only clouds.
Like the man on the sea did
I have called on God in prayer
When it seemed to me all hope was gone
And in my deep despair
I remembered what the Lord said
When He calmed that troubled sea
And I know once more how He sees the storm
And peace floods over me.
God sees the storm from the other side
He knows the lessons learned
And just beyond the clouds He sees clear skies (oh)
He speaks peace to the raging storm
When peace could not be found
He already sees the rainbow when we see only clouds.
And when the storms of life come crashing in and trouble me
I can feel God's arms around me, and He whispers
"Let it be, let it be"
God sees the storm from the other side
He knows the lessons learned
And just beyond the clouds He sees clear skies
He speaks peace to the raging storm
When peace could not be found
He already sees the rainbow when we see only clouds.
