He and his wife were grieving the death of their son when the Great Fire of Chicago took everything they had. He was a wealthy real estate investor, and all his buildings were lost. The family decided to take a trip to England. He sent his wife and 4 remaining daughters ahead, and he would come later because of business. The steamship tragically sank, and all 4 of his daughters died. His wife sent him a telegram from England saying, "Saved alone." <BR/>Horatio then boarded a ship to meet his wife in England. As the ship passed by the very spot where his daughters had been lost, he looked into the waters and penned the lyrics of this song. As he pondered how he had lost his wealth, his home, and all his children, he was still able to say it is well with my soul. <BR/><BR/>"When peace like a river attendeth my way...When sorrows like SEA BILLOWS ROLL..."<BR/><BR/>What an amazing testimony! Certainly my most favorite hymn! <BR/><BR/>Take care and peace to you this week,<BR/><BR/>Carmine BlinnCarminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07972391547886787465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197527152801562004.post-29956410417339425532008-07-22T22:35:00.000-05:002008-07-22T22:35:00.000-05:00Trust in the Lord with all your heart, dearest Ali...Trust in the Lord with all your heart, dearest Ali, and lean not on your own understanding...and God will direct your path. A precious promise we need to cling to when we try to figure out the circumstances of Emma's short life. You have amazed me these past months with your unwavering faith in God's plan...wait upon Him for the next phase in your life; you are allowing Him to use you...and He is! I thank God every day for His loving walk beside us these past months and for giving us such a strong bond with one another; I absolutely love being your mom! Emma has made us all embrace heaven a little more...<BR/><BR/>Big hugs and much love,<BR/>MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197527152801562004.post-79507796625875047852008-07-17T22:22:00.000-05:002008-07-17T22:22:00.000-05:00Ali - you are way beyond normal. I love you! You...Ali - you are way beyond normal. I love you! You and Jon are loved by a boatload of people, but as you know, still you have to walk the road alone (but for God's strong arms - I know you know Hi IS holding you!) as He leads. Remember Jeremiah 29:11 - He does have a plan darlin' and you have a special place in it.<BR/>love as always, maryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197527152801562004.post-80364500577478796372008-07-17T09:46:00.000-05:002008-07-17T09:46:00.000-05:00Thank you for continuing to bare your soul with us...Thank you for continuing to bare your soul with us!
