They Shall Doubtless Come Again Rejoicing

Some of you know that we have been going through a really tough real estate situation. We've had an extra house on our hands and have been paying both mortgages for a year. Last night, our little house rented. I almost cannot describe the joy and relief I am experiencing. Reminds me of one of my favorite poems:

Psalm 126
"When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion,
We were like those who dream.
Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the nations,
"The Lord has done great things for them."
The Lord has done great things for us,
And we are glad.
Bring back our captivity,
O Lord,
As the streams in the South.
Those who sow in tears
Shall reap in joy.
He who continually goes forth weeping,
Bearing seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
Bringing his sheaves with him."
