I will be sure to keep you in my prayers.<br /><br />Isn't it amazing how GOD uses songs to encourage us through our deepest struggles? More times than I can recount a hymn or song I have heard on Christian radio will *stay* with me through my time of need. GOD is soooo good!<br /><br />I love the story of Fanny...she truly learned to LIVE by her faith. I have really struggled through a Blind walk of faith lately...I know GOD's been teaching me so much through it, even when LIFE does not make any sense. Thanks for sharing her wonderful song!<br /><br />Hugs...LorenaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13266383410969740448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-57810887733021552492009-11-22T16:27:37.267-06:002009-11-22T16:27:37.267-06:00One of the greatest Christian joys in my life is t...One of the greatest Christian joys in my life is to hear the OLDE HYMNS..and why certain HYMNS were writen...love the story's behind them. ~<br />And about the people who are resposibile for these GOD INSPIRED words.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this one.

Her writings/songs are so full of blessings.<br /><br />You know that I have lifted you in constant prayer at this time, sweet one, as I said I would. You are a very special friend that is loved very deeply. May all that is placed in His hands, be lifted before you all ... He can do anything if we let Him, & trust Him. <br /><br />We gather before thee, O Lord, humbly asking thru our prayers to protect & keep those that need your strength & love.

When I was saved at a little Baptist church, at age 1, this became my favorite...my home was dysfunctional and the Lord lifted me, spiritually, out of the clamor with beloved music that brought my heart and mind to focus on Him. I have heard about Miss Crosby, and I want to relay your message today to my husband...he has lost most of his sight, but sings in the choir, and plays drumbs and bongos with the worship team...he has told me that his spiritual eyes have compensated for his natural eyesight, and his faith has grown because of it. God always knows what we need to refine us, to strengthen our faith and trust in Him. <br /><br />I don't have this beautiful hymn on any cd that I own, so I'm going to find it on the net and play it today.<br />God bless you, sweet Rebecca...have a wonderful Sunday!<br /><br />MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15369867469773842215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-13415894130249564402009-11-22T10:19:55.014-06:002009-11-22T10:19:55.014-06:00What great thoughts to read first thing this cold ...What great thoughts to read first thing this cold morning...I hadn't thought about Fanny Crosby in quite awhile.

How gifted was Miss Fanny Grosby (I simply LOVE her name) you can feel her faith in her words. So tell me Hun did you bake a strawberry pie this year???? hahaha had a good old laugh at that post. Hope you are ok?? I just feel something is not right with you right now, you know you are always in my thoughts. I have been side tracked lately painting is yet to be finished, have neglected my blog & visiting my favourite blogs, but am back on track & will get back into the swing of things later today. Ok my Sweet it is late & as usual I am the last to go to bed, which by the way I can hear calling me!
