Sunday's Hymn

Here’s one of the hymns sung by the congregation of Riverdale Baptist Church in Whitehorse, Yukon this morning. My favorite line is the last one of the first verse, which is a reminder that no matter what happens to us, “Jesus doeth all things well.”

All the Way My Savior Leads Me

All the way my Savior leads me;
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
Who through life has been my Guide?
Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well;
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.

All the way my Savior leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread;
Gives me grace for every trial,
Feeds me with the living Bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see;
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see.

All the way my Savior leads me
O the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father’s house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages—
Jesus led me all the way;
This my song through endless ages—
Jesus led me all the way.

—-Fanny Crosby

Leaving Home and Coming Home

Youngest son left for Edmonton Wednesday. I wish I’d snapped a photo of him leaving with his friend Zach in the fancy-schmancy pick up and camper they are delivering for their summertime boss at the R. V. rental place, but I didn’t. (There’s a reason I’ve never been the family photographer. I was always too busy experiencing the milestones to think of recording them.)

So, for the first time in my life, I am living alone. I can’t say I like it much. I don’t like coming home in the evening to an empty house. Empty, that is, except for the animals. Things do stay tidy, and I thought I liked things tidy, but I guess I only like tidy when I have to fight the messy people to get it that way.

The two kids still living here in town don’t stock their own fridges. That means that even though I live alone, I don’t eat alone.

And I’ll get used to living alone. I’ll even learn to like it after a while. If things go the way they usually do, I’ll learn to like my quiet order just about the time one or two of the messy people decide to move back home again.
