Bob and I were very busy over the fourth of July. Bob worked nonstop putting down a new floor in our living room. Working by the sweat of his brow is an understatement but it\u2019s finally complete. Now the fun part for me\u2026I get to put all my books back on the bookcases and rearrange knickknacks and decorate\u2026YaY!!!<\/h6>\n
As I was in the process of this wonderful task, I saw that I had two little box plaques one says, \u201cIt is Well with My Soul<\/em>\u201d and the other says, \u201cTis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus<\/em>.\u201d So\u2026an idea popped into my brain, POP, just like that. LOL! Anyway to the point\u2026I decided to print out the old hymns from the internet; frame them, and create a wall of the beautiful old songs I grew up singing. Amazing Grace, In the Garden, Blessed Assurance, and of course, It is Well With My Soul. <\/em>And I thought it would be awesome to share it with you.<\/h6>\n
Times change\u2026fads come in and go out. Faces of people grow older and new ones come in, and it made me think\u2026No matter how young, or how old you get, music moves the soul\u2026<\/h6>\n
There\u2019s jazz, rock and roll, classical, blue grass, country, rap, gospel, contemporary Christian; as a matter of fact there\u2019s music today I\u2019ve never even heard of\u2026but anyone can relate to music. It\u2019s universal\u2026play an upbeat piece of music and before you know it you\u2019re tapping your foot and humming along. Play a slow, melancholy piece and it puts you in a somber mood\u2026<\/h6>\n
Music certainly does speak to the soul\u2026<\/h6>\n
Lullabies put babies to sleep\u2026<\/h6>\n
Rock n\u2019 Roll makes you wiggle in ways that would make your grandma blush\u2026<\/h6>\n
I think you get my drift\u2026<\/h6>\n
To me there is nothing better than turning on Contemporary Christian music and before long I\u2019m twirling and spinning, caught up in worship before the living God\u2026and an old gospel hymn will make me cry in a heartbeat of days long gone, listening to the lyrics and singing to the top of my lungs\u2026remembering church gatherings and altar calls and sinners running to the altar to pray, asking Jesus to save them.<\/h6>\n
And singing this old song, Oh when the Saints go marching in, Oh when the saints go marching in\u2026Oh Lord I want to be in that number\u2026when the saints go marching in\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
I\u2019m filled with joy and happiness knowing where my loved ones are right now and one day I will be with them\u2026<\/h6>\n
Oh what music must be like in heaven\u2026<\/h6>\n
To hear God sing and Jesus and the disciples sing, and the angels, and loved ones all gathered together in God\u2019s living room making a joyful noise\u2026I can hear them now\u2026<\/h6>\n
Everything gets real quiet and way in the very back of the room I hear my mama as she begins to sing her song about heaven. Heaven\u2026.happy home above\u2026Heaven\u2026land of peace and love\u2026Oh it makes me feel like traveling on\u2026Heaven\u2026 eternal, Heaven\u2026 supernal\u2026I\u2019m so glad that it\u2019s real\u2026\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
So for now I\u2019ll enjoy these old hymns and sing along from time to time. And wait for that beautiful day when I get to go home.<\/h6>\n
For now\u2026<\/h6>\n
It is Well with My Soul\u2026.<\/em><\/h6>\n
By the way when I get everything arranged the way I want it I\u2019ll share pictures.<\/h6>\n
Love and blessings!<\/h6>\n
