“When peace like a river, attends my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, You have taught me to know
It is well, it is well, with my soul.” — hymn by Horatio Spafforc

I was just pausing to reflect on gratitude for beauty, blessings, and answered prayer.

As far as beauty, this was my view last night of the Northern Lights — a surreal sight in a well-lit neighborhood in the city. I could even see them with the naked eye! What a gift.

Also as far as blessings, it’s been a good day at work. Exceptionally so. And not just for me — for people around me. Which is connected to answered prayer.

I sometimes look back at my blog as a way to remember what was going on at any given time. When I look back at today, I want to be sure to remember…it is well with my soul.
