Great is Thy faithfulness

Although things aren't peachy-keen, the dreaded meeting with the difficult parent went over as smoothly as can be expected. I was very thankful to have the support of my principal and other staff. I am trying to take the advice of these and others who have advised me to learn from what has happened, not take anything personally, and move on. There is definitely a lot to be learned- but the biggest lesson is something I already knew: God is faithful to answer our prayers, even in the little things.



Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

Refrain

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Refrain

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Refrain
