Then I read a book called "Her Heart Can See" by Edith L. Blumhofer about the life of Fanny Crosby and all thoughts of self pity fade in to nothingness. Fanny was born in 1820 with two strikes against her. She was female during a time when women in America were still chattel and she was blind. It was to say the least a tough life but she also had a talent for words and she used it.
Over the course of her almost 95 years she wrote over nine thousand hymns and many of them are favorites of mine. "Blessed Assurance" and "Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross" are just two of them.
Well my troubles are few and my blessing are many.
