Hi Springfield, 

When I woke up this morning, the third stanza of that old church hymn were the first words on my mind…

What have I to dread, what have I to fear,

Leaning on the everlasting arms,

I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,

Leaning on the everlasting arms!

 

Let’s keep leaning on the everlasting arms. That’s where all our help and hope comes from.
