We'll Understand it Better By and By

Chrysanthemum is still very jaundiced and we have been praying that after her operation,hoping that she would slowly recover. It has been four long days. Friends have been dropping by and gently visiting her, fearing that she might just be too tired to speak and receive visitors.

While those of us who are far away pray for her fervently. It is the only thing we can do.

And here I am reading a hymn as I think of her and her family.

We'll Understand It Better By and By

We are tossed and driven on the restless sea of time,
somber skies and howling tempest oft succeed a bright sunshine
in that land of perfect day, when the the mists have rolled away,
we will understand it better by and by.

By and by, when the morning comes,
when the saints of God are gathered home,
we'll tell the story how we've overcome
for we'll understand it better by and by.

We are often destitute of the things that life demands,
want of food and want of shelter,thirsty hills and barren lands
we are trusting in the Lord and according to God's word,
we will understand it better by and by.

Tempatations, hidden snares often take us unaware,
and our hearts are bade to bleed for a thoughtless word or deed,
and we wonder why the test when we try to do our best,
but we'll understand it better by and by.
