ENDURANCE

When I first went off to my freshman year of college in NC, I got so homesick for home, that I called Daddy and told him that I wanted to come back home to Florida. Daddy, however, told me to stay for one semester and endure it for that long, and then we would see how I felt after that!
As it turned out, those two years at Montreat, were two of the best years of my life , and I am so thankful, that Daddy taught me the lesson of endurance through those months.
Another man, who endured, was Horatio Spafford! After his daughters died at sea, he and his wife had other children, but their son died of Scarlet Fever. They both moved to Jerusalem, where they started the Jerusalem School for Children. This past year, David Jeremiah was over in China, and ate lunch with the 93 year old grandaughter of Horatio Spafford !
She is the direct benefactor of one who overcame tragedy by enduring, with God's help!
~~~And look how much we benefit from the words of his music!
