Today I am going to let Helen H. Lemmel’s words from 1922 be my word to you. If you aren’t familiar with this, it’s from the hymn Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus.

O soul, are you weary and troubled?




No light in the darkness you see?

There’s light for a look at the Savior,

And life more abundant and free!

Refrain:

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,

Look full in His wonderful face,

And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,

In the light of his glory and grace.




Persevere each day by keeping your eyes on Jesus.

I’m Sallie — wife, mother, just-retired homeschooler, and happy warrior for Christ. Our little family lives a quiet and cozy life of home education, self-employment, and pithy exchanges. I’ve been writing here for 20+ years as a curator of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. I write about what I'm learning while thinking for myself. And I like to laugh. A lot. Start here. ♥
