Rejoice in the Lord for he is good.
Some days on earth are happier than others. Today is one of those earthly "happy days". It is easy on such days to remember that "all things do work together for good", it is a prayer of mine that I am able to remember this on the not so happy days too.
There is sunshine in my soul today,
More glorious and bright
Than glows in any earthly sky,For Jesus is my light.
O there is sunshine, blessed sunshine,
While the peaceful, happy moments roll;
When Jesus shows His smiling face
There's sunshine in my soul.
There is springtime in my soul today,
For when the Lord is near
The dove of peace sings in my heart,
The flowers of grace appear.
There is gladness in my soul today,
And hope, and praise, and love,
For blessings which He gives me now,
For joys laid up above.

A beautiful gospel song by a lovely lady. Eliza Hewitt was a school teacher. But one day a rebellious boy (a large and strong one, it would seem) struck her in the back with his slate. The severe injury led to her being in a body cast for 6 months and confined to bed.
When at last she recovered, she went outside into the sunshine for a short walk. Her first time out of doors. The warmth and beauty of the sun were wonderful. But she immediately thought of the light of Christ in her soul, "more glorious and bright than glows in any earthly sky."
(Incidentally, today is the 90th anniversary of Eliza Hewitt's death.)
