Wheat is measured in bushels, and weight is
measured in pounds. But faith is measured in
years, not minutes, hours, or days, but years.
Or in GodÕs case millennia. I read in a book once that itÕs fairly easy for
us to be true and hopeful when prayers are answered and the crops
come in. But, what about the time when we kneel in need and seem to
hear only the echo of our own voice?

(Fanny Crosby - Continued)
many of us know so well. Each of her hymns, and
poems showed us ways to successfully pursue
happiness and enjoy GodÕs love.
Below is a poem she wrote when she was only 9
years old. A small example of her life and attitude.
ÒOh, what a happy soul I am!
Although I cannot see,
I am resolved that in this world
Contented I will be.
How many blessings I enjoy
That other people donÕt!
To weep and sigh because IÕm blindÓ
I cannot, nor I wonÕt!
