Thursdays Before the Throne

See my earlier post if you came to see the answer to Ana’s little guessing game!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Often in the last few weeks, I have been shaking my head while thinking:

“How did my life end up like this?”

I mean…..what a mixture.

Things I never imagined:



Sorrow beyond description

Joy overflowing

Laughter-the deep belly kind

Despair at some of life’s twists & turns

Pride I never understood until there were “my kids” & “my husband”

Gratitude-to God, for my family & for the road He has led us down so far.



This morning, I ran across this the words to this hymn, long stored away in an old Bible of mine:

“The Sands of Time Are Sinking”


This verse stuck out to me:


With mercy and with judgment my web of time He wove,

And aye, the dews of sorrow were lustered with His love;

I’ll bless the hand that guided, I’ll bless the heart that planned

When throned where glory dwelleth in Immanuel’s land.

In Heaven (Immanuel’s Land), only because of His mercy & grace,

we will bless His heart & hand.

Why?

Because THEN, & only THEN will we understand-all His plans for us were perfect.

When we see His face!
