Enjoy!

A beautiful rendition of “You Raise Me Up” by Josh Groban.

I hope you enjoy!

There are no words to define this performance by Mark Lowry of “Mary Did You Know.”

How would you like to enjoy a Thanksgiving with a group of people like this singing for you? Unfortunately for us, many of these dear saints are already in Heaven and that’s wonderful for them.

Enjoy. Yes, that’s Larry Gatlin in the beginning.

This hymn has special significance to me.

When my grandmother lay dying, in a semi-coma, we somehow were the only ones in the house. I sat next to her bed and held her hand and told her “They tell me you’re going to leave me in a few days. I want you to know how much I love you and will miss you, but we’ll see each other again.”

I then thought of the following song, but I couldn’t remember the words to the main part of the song; only the chorus (where the men join in).

As I hummed the hymn I then picked up on the chorus: In the sweet bye and bye, we shall meet on that beautiful shore. In the sweet bye and bye we shall meet on that beautiful shore.”

I then had one of the most precious experiences of my life as my beloved grandmother squeezed my hand as I sang those words. Even though she was in a semi-coma she was telling me she knew what I was saying and was agreeing with it.

It’s a memory I’ll take to my grave.

I hope you like the song.

Father, I have sinned against you tonight due to anger brought on me by someone else. I ask your forgiveness because if not, I cannot face the world. Cover my sin in the blood of Jesus and cleanse me till I am white as snow. In Jesus’ Name, Amen

I’m still suffering the after-effects of the Niaspan. The room is spinning now, but I wanted to share this with you.

This is the story of my life:

Thank you, Jesus, for touching me and my family. I am forever grateful and one day You will give me the words to adequately express my joy and love for You.

I’m having a sporadic internet connection and want to get this post up before it goes down again.

Please listen to Sandi Patty sing “We Shall Behold Him” and wait for the end when she hits a note that will give you chills.

The lady she hugs at the end is Dottie Rambo, the writer of this song with such beautiful promise. Not just hope, but promise.

Amen!

Sunday promises to be a very busy day for me, as I am sure it will be for many of you, so I thought I’d just share a bit of inspirational music for today.

Enjoy your Sunday.

Gospel music is my favorite genre of music. I love Lynda Randle because she has such a beautiful voice, and because her key is one I can sing.

Listen to this beautiful song of praise, “I’m Free”:

When my mother died I wanted “Peace, Be Still” as sung by Candy Hemphill Christmas to be played at her funeral.

Since I was in Maine, and had only the video version of the song I called my neighbor, who is a gospel singer, to ask if he had it on CD or tape. He didn’t, but he called Candy’s father who offered to FedEx it to me so I could use it.

As it turned out my cousins had a recording studio and were able to transfer this song, that means so very much to me, to tape.

It comforted my heart and I hope it does yours too.

May God bless you and may you have a wonderful beginning to your weekend.
