I am back in Orlando for a conference this weekend which has been such a blessing to see dear friends and even more wonderful was to spend time with my grandchildren. When I left for Missouri, I did not expect such a delay in their joining me. God, I know is Sovereign and knows what is best; despite my heart’s desires longing for different things. I have not meant to neglect any of you my readers this weekend; but, technical issues as well has time has been a challenge. I must go back to Columbia today. My heart is there and a part of my heart remains in Florida. Another part is off in California with my daughter. God has His plan and I will trust Him both with my life and that of my children and grandchildren. It is His grace that has so blessed me with this opportunity to go to Florida. It was a gift so unexpected and so gracious, as I could not have done this myself financially. Apart from Christ Himself, my greatest gift of Grace that God bestowed on me were my Children and now, my grandchildren. I pray that God will lead each and little heart to know Him & find their joy in Him. 
So, today let me share with you this song that was published in 1883 by Daniel Whittle.
1. I know not why God’s wondrous grace
To me He hath made known,
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for His own.
o Refrain:
But “I know Whom I have believed,
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I’ve committed
Unto Him against that day.”
2. I know not how this saving faith
To me He did impart,
Nor how believing in His Word
Wrought peace within my heart.
3. I know not how the Spirit moves,
Convincing men of sin,
Revealing Jesus through the Word,
Creating faith in Him.
4. I know not what of good or ill
May be reserved for me,
Of weary ways or golden days,
Before His face I see.
5. I know not when my Lord may come,
At night or noonday fair,
Nor if I walk the vale with Him,
Or meet Him in the air.
