Dad has maintained a positive, peaceful outlook on this experience for nearly the whole time he has been hospitalized. This is quite admirable in my thinking. In church on Sunday, we sang the familiar hymn "Come, Come Ye Saints". In light of the hardship Dad has been experienced I was touched by the second verse.
Why should we mourn or think our lot is hard?
'Tis not so; all is right.
Why should we think to earn a great reward
If we now shun the fight?
Gird up your loins; fresh courage take.
Our God will never us forsake;
And soon we'll have this tale to tell —
All is well! All is well!
I'm not sure I can articulate why this verse is so powerful to me right now, but I wanted to share it just the same. Andrew
