Thought for Today

The little girl was only weeks old when she contracted an eye disease. Her parents took her to a physician, and in the process of treatment he accidentally prescribed the wrong medication. As a result the girl was permanently blinded.
Towards the end of her life a friend asked did she ever feel bitterness towards the doctor, she replied "No, you see it may have been a mistake on the doctors part, but not in God's. She stated God was in perfect control of all things in heaven and on earth. She grew up, married and had one child that died in infancy, but told people to never pity her because she considered herself one of the luckiest people alive. This woman of remarkable faith was Fanny Crosby, you may not recognize the name but she wrote some eight thousand hymns in her life including "Blessed Assurance and "Eye Hath not Seen." She taught at the New York School for the Blind and used the income from her songwriting spreading the gospel and helping the poor.

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness;come before His presence with singing. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise; be thankful unto Him and praise His name.

Psalms 100:1,2,4
