As thy days may demand...so thy succor shall be

We just said goodbye to our daughter Jocelyn as she heads out on the first leg of her move to Washington D. C. As she drove off, I couldn't help but feel sad that she is moving so far away from home, but I know the Lord will be with her.

All morning as we helped with the last of loading her car, I had strains of How Firm a Foundation running through my head. I'll strengthen thee, help thee and cause thee to stand...As thy days may demand, so thy succor shall be. Whatever comes her way, she will be strengthened. Whatever she is in need of, she will be helped with. I am so pleased with the changes that Jocelyn has made in her life over the last year. I am thankful for the tender mercies of the Lord.

  4. Have you seen the most recent Mormon Message on You tube? It made me think of this post and the power of the hymns. http://tr.im/qDMp
