I sang one of our family’s favorite hymns at the Eckert Presbyterian Church on Sunday morning.
Peace, Peace Wonderful Peace..
Coming down from the father, above.
Sweep over my spirit forever I pray
In phathomless billows of love
This was a very special song that my grandfather—-my mother’s father–sang……..It was part of his SOUL…….He sang it in the house…..He sang it in the truck…….He sang it while we were fishing…….I never questioned his faith in the Lord because he shared this song so freely with me. Never underestimate the power you have to encourage or impress a young mind. If you have a song that speaks to you…….share it with the people you love. Every time they hear it, they will have to think of you and you can be responsible for leading them closer to God with something as simple and subtle as a song…….Thank you, Grandpa!
I also sang “Thank God for Small Things”, which is fresh in my mind, these days……..
