My Uncle is dying right now, but I will continue to say 'It is well with my soul'

Maybe I was wrong about his wife dying. I must be confusing her with another hymn writer's story.

This song was penned by Horatio Spafford. You have to know his story in order to really grasp this song. He lost his son to scarlet fever, I believe, then lost his business to a fire & was made to pay for the damages due to some legal technicallity. He heard of work & put his wife & 3 daughters on a ship to go ahead of him but the ship sank & his daughters drowned.

His wife took a train back to be with Heratio but train crashed & she was killed. Yet through out all this tragedy he was still able to put his trust in the Lord and say "IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL."

CAN'T SAVE A SH.... BUT CAN SAVE YOU!!!!
I dedicate that wonderful son to Emma, my boy of 2 that went ahead of me to be with the LORD in 2010. Oh Yes, It is all well, with my soul, to GOD all the glory.

To understand this song read: 2 Kings IV. 8-34.
The woman was given a son via the word of the prophet. When the son died, she still refused to murmur that the prophet/God had lied to her. So she said "It is well with my soul". She then told the prophet, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?
His son was resurrected.
When God promised us something, He never deceives us. So whatever happens, have faith & please God. " It is well with my soul " because God cannot lie!
