We got a single moment of clarity before he died where he recognized that. Hold on to the good memories.

She forgot how to read but she knew all those hymns by heart. It was good to hear her voice again. <br />Janet E.<br />von1janet(at)gmail(dot)comLibrary Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04453047929043510049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-42800974912259864622017-06-30T20:11:19.641-04:002017-06-30T20:11:19.641-04:00Amazing Grace is only of favorites, too.

I had such a hard time no singing my beloved version with the little white church on the hill. I know what you mean by the memories rushing back. It was made more special because my youngest sister was singing beside me. She sang our version, causing heads to turn. Lol. Thanks for sharing your memories.

The movie Amazing Grace is great, too about what came after at the end of Newton's life. My all-time favorite hymn is When I Survey the Wondrous Cross. It just speaks to me. Thanks for the chance to win the book by Amber . I love history!Paula Shreckhisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05950258738360858885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-71854901770263853232017-06-30T09:24:24.749-04:002017-06-30T09:24:24.749-04:00One of our beloved church men loves this song and ...One of our beloved church men loves this song and we often sing it.

I remember learning to play The Church in the Wildwood on my accordian. I can still see the music in my mind, with the music packed away. : ) I attended small country churches where our grandparents were pastoring. They are so special. More recently a family member's funeral was at a small country church that made it so touching and special. All the memories came rolling in. Thank you for sharing.
