I am very glad to see everyone but its a question of juggling the time carefully without making people feel that they are being a nuisance!
Tomorrow I am burying the ashes of a much loved lady whose children are all teachers and thats why it had to be half term...One of them has sent me a prayer to say at the graveside, where her husband already rests..Its not one Ive ever seen before but it is lovely and if anyone knows who wrote it I should be glad to know.
God hath not promised skies ever blue
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through.
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.
But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labour, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.

I think it's a hymn Jean.
Try it to the tune of "This is my story".
I may well be totally wrong.
You are right! That tune works! Someone else sent me an extra two verses but didn't know the tune! The power of the internet is wonderful!
And now I have the name of the author as well.
Annie Johnson Flint. Wonderful!
Well done Jean. Persistence does sometimes pay off.
