This morning when I went on Facebook there was a video of Mom's friend Evie singing "How Great Thou Art" from their church service last night. I have to say it brought tears to my eyes, just as it did when they sang it at Mom's service. It always brought tears to my eyes when I hear it anyway, but it now brings special meaning to me and especially when it is by the person who sang it for Mom at my request. I just wish that the recording was the whole song and not just part of it. And I really kick myself for not recording their singing of that song and "I'll Fly Away" during the memorial service because I know I would listen to it often. Hindsight is always 20/20.
I know they have a lot of nice Christian songs that are modern but I have to admit to still liking the old classics, like "How Great Thou Art" and "The Old Rugged Cross" and "Like a Tree Still Standing by the Water" (that was always a favorite of mine). Bottom line is I am really just an old-fashioned girl and probably always will be.
And I really miss my mom.
