@sinbach a cousin who has lived all of her life in Sweden shared this today, and it gave me goosebumps. A song written by Lewi Pethrus, who was the leader of the Swedish pentecostal movement half a century ago. It's about God's angels protecting the borders with their swords, praying mothers, to be spared from war when the rest of the world was bleeding, the beautiful nature, and all riches of the country.
@tanjaostman yes, i know of pethrus. he is one of the founders of the swedish filadelphia church in stockholm - this is the church that sent my wife's family to China and supported them for over 30 years and have been supporters of our family as well for many years by helping to provide our family with health insurance. we are so thankful for them!
@sinbach @tanjaostman that's amazing! What a lovely family you've got behind you!!
@sinbach some old Swedish words. Eljest = otherwise, huru = how, givit = given, hägn = fence, surround, ofärdstider = times of unrest, war time
