Today I am grateful for:

• A short work week ahead
• This lesson at church today
• Sacred music - we sang one of my favorites today:

Be Still, My Soul

Be still, my soul: The Lord is on thy side;
With patience bear thy cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In ev'ry change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: Thy best, thy heav'nly Friend
Thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

• 
  Be still, my soul: Thy God doth undertake
  To guide the future as he has the past.
  Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
  All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
  Be still, my soul: The waves and winds still know
  His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.
  
  Be still, my soul: The hour is hast'ning on
  When we shall be forever with the Lord,
  When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
  Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
  Be still, my soul: When change and tears are past,
  All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
