After All

It saddens me today to hear the news about Hostess closing its doors....Hostess has been a part of my life since I can remember. My heart goes out to the workers and their families and all the other companies that will be affected, such as restaurants....my husband called me today from our store (we own a Sonic), and informed me how this would affect our business and the people that work for us. My mind tried to start to worry and I felt that familiar knot of anxiety start balling up in the pit of my stomach. I mean after all we are about to open a brand new Sonic that is one of the biggest stores in our state and we can't do that without a bread supplier. I know that adjustments are being made and a new supplier is already scheduled to start producing for next week....but I still have that little bit of nervousness, that little bit of panic. And if I feel this way, I can't imagine the feeling of the Hostess company employees...I have to stand by what I believe though, that God is in control. He is able to provide not just for me but for all the people affected. He is faithful. The words of a song that my Daddy use to sing has been running through my head...so let me share the words with you today. Maybe you are facing something similar in life and I want to encourage you as I encourage myself....

AFTER ALL

Trials here are sometimes many

oftentimes my feet grow weary till it seems

that I would stumble and fall.

But the gentle hand that leads me, is the 

hand that keeps me steady, and I know

that I will make it

After All

After all the strife if over and our burdens have been lifted

and I stand upon the mountain top so tall

Looking over in that city 

that the Savior is preparing

it gives me faith that I will make it

After All

By myself I cannot make it

But I know He's there to help me

He will hear my prayers if on Him

I would call.

Keep on trusting and believing 

are the words I hear Him whisper

just a few more days to labor

After All

After all the strife if over and our burdens have been lifted

and I stand upon the mountain top so tall

Looking over in that city 

that the Savior is preparing

it gives me faith that I will make it

After All

I wish you all could have heard his sweet voice ring out when he sang this one.....it was amazing.

Be blessed today and take heart that we can make it another day on this journey.....Regina
