Rest Thee

Grandma Danny’s life was not all peaches and cream. She spent weeks and months in the hospital with her son, Suzy’s Uncle Wayne, who was a brilliant chemist but struck with crippling and life-threatening arthritis. Danny tucked  in her Bible a letter from her daughter Admyth who thought the verses of a song Suzy’s Mom was learning to sing might bring Danny comfort. They must have done so because they remained with her since 1936. The song, “God Holds the Future.” The first verse:

God holds the future in his hand;

A soul of mine, be still.

His love will do the best for thee,

On dark or fair that best may be;

Then rest Thee; Rest Thee! Rest thee in his will.
