I remember singing this in Sunday School in the 40's so it must have been in our hymnals. I just looked it up and see that it was written in 1897 by Johnson Oatman, Jr. What a cheery song to start a day - thank you dear Flower Lady!
Lorraine, it was nice to hear this old hymn again. I haven't heard it for a while. It was nice to visit and find this; thank you! Thank you for your visit and have a lovely weekend. Blessings to you...Sandi
Thank you SO much for coming to visit my blog. It is a bittersweet thing, isn't it, to fall in love, to grow up in love with someone, then have to face the reality one day that this love MUST morph into something else. That "something else" is something we have not yet seen or experienced, yet I know it is divine. It is hard however, to face up to the moment when what you know is inevitable could be at the threshold of your prime. Thank you so much for visiting.
Gardening with the 3 H's can be a challenge ~ heat, humidity, and hurricane season. Flowers bring me joy and I spend as much time as possible in my tropical/cottage gardens .
When not outside I can be found inside crafting in yarn, thread, beads, ribbon, buttons and laces. I also love to cook and bake.
Thank you for taking the time to visit.

This blog was started in 2008. It has been about life shared with my dear husband and best friend.
He went to be with Jesus 9 Dec. 2012, and my life changed. I miss my husband daily, but God is my strength, and He is with me through each and every day.
Hubby & I will be reunited again one day and what a reunion that will be.
I enjoy gardening, needleworking, reading and music.
Every day is a learning experience.
It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work.
It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.

The Continuing Journey
A new blog about this next phase in my life. It will be a learning experience. One of dependence on God to fill the void left in my life by the loss of my DH. It will be my thoughts and times of grief. A place to let it out. Maybe it will be of some help to others.

For Widows
******************
I found the book 'Undistracted Widow ~ Living for God After Losing Your Husband' by Carol Cornish, online when I was searching for bits and pieces to help me as a new widow. This book is wonderful and just what I needed. It is full of encouragement and scripture.
I highly recommend it for anyone who is a widow, and for those who would like to know how to help widows as they go and grow in this next part of their journey.
It would also be a great help to any woman who is single, as it is all about trusting in Jesus for all things.
Sincerely ~ FlowerLady Lorraine

So sweet! Thanks for sharing one of my favourite hymns.
I had to come back and hear this precious hymn and see the video again as it's such a happy, happy tune.
When I count my blessings and write them down in my "Thankful Journal" YOU are one of those delightful blessings, dear Lorraine.
