Meditation

Thoughts on a hymn:

There Is Sunshine in My Soul Today" was written in 1887 by Elton Edmunds Hewitt (who often published under Eliza E. Hewitt) with music composed by John R. Sweney.  

The story behind this hymn gives its joyful lyrics a remarkably poignant depth. As a young schoolteacher in Philadelphia, Hewitt suffered a severe spinal injury after being struck across the back by a student with a slate. 

She was immobilized in a heavy body cast and confined to her room for months. When she was finally allowed to take her very first short walk outside on a warm spring day, the feeling of the sun on her skin inspired her to sit down and write this song of thanksgiving.  

May the Lord transform your difficulties and challenges into opportunities of testimony and witness. 

Blessings on you all.
