Hello everyone…I’m here today with a simple but very meaningful printable to share with you. I love the story behind these words. Just reading them helps to push the doubts away and calm any turmoil inside you. It Is Well With My Soul is a hymn written in the late 1800’s by a man who suffered unspeakable loss and heartbreak. His name was Horatio Spafford and just reading his story puts things in perspective.

I’ve heard this song in church my whole life but never knew its story until recently. The fact that this man could lose so much that was dear to him, and still see the bigger picture is amazing. I made the printable as a reminder to myself to be still and know that God has a plan…that everything happens in His time, not mine.

I’m offering this printable in two colors just to give you a choice. The grey one goes nicely with my Inspirational Free Printables that I posted a few months ago. If you need a small grouping of wall art this would be a budget-friendly way to get something new.
I switched out the Live In The Moment printable for this one. I used the same frame and mat so it didn’t cost a thing. I like being able to change things up once in a while but I also need to re-use things I already have. This was the perfect way to do both.

Saturday, July 26, 2014 at 4:52 pmThank you for giving the print this day. I almost wrote in Swedish. Where did that come from?!! I felt moved seeing his handwriting as I clicked another link. I’d heard the details before but it moves me even so each time. My dear friend and I have a necklace, hand made by a crafts woman in San Luis Opbispo, CA . I bought mine when I recovered after SCA. And to my friend as she and her spouse and kids left for the mission field.
Even my doctors say my husband and I have a hard life–and more than one has had tears for there seems no let up–but today as I was meditating on 2Timothy I remember your genuine faith, for you share the faith that first filled your grandmother Lois and your mother, Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you. (2 Timothy 1:5 NLT) and praying and thanking God for Faith which has come ultimately from His Word….something else happened and I could have been upset but I went in to lie down and am reminded…when sorrows like sea billows roll~~ It IS well Lord with my soul
Blessings. Gwen

I was just thinking about this hymn last week! In fact, it hummed along in my head for several days. :-) Thank you so much for creating such a beautiful printable to go along with such an inspirational song (and message).
