Happy Monday!
It's a beautiful yet hectic time of year. Personally, my semester is coming to a close which means I'm practically running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. Every time I think I've finished something or get a chance to breathe, something else comes up. The holidays are also fast approaching. Thanksgiving is next week!!! One of the most important things I'm thankful for is God and His grace. It's something we should be thankful for every day. But sometimes in our daily routine we forget. So take a minute today and just be thankful for God, His grace, and at least one other thing.
Today's song is How Great Thou Art. Now, there are many variations of this hymn. So if you don't like the particular version I posted I encourage you to find one you love! This song has a very special place in my heart. So I researched the story of the hymn.
Mr. Carl Gustaf Boberg (1859-1940) was a Swedish pastor and one day was enjoying a nice walk when a thunderstorm suddenly appeared out of no where. After the storm was over, Mr. Boberg looked out over a bay and heard a church bell in the distance. And thus, How Great Thou Art was born. He wrote a poem titled O Store Gud (O Great God) and published it in 1891 in Witness of the Truth, the weekly newspaper that Boberg edited.

O Lord, my God, When I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds Thy hands hath made. . .
