Sad to hear that...I was sad-glad to read your post. Sad to hear that your church doesn't sing many hymns. (Don't think I, personally could survive in a church like that). But I'm glad to hear you're teaching hymns to your children. You will never regret it, nor will they in years to come.<br /><br />Your idea of asking family members their favourites is good too. Maybe you could include friends and acquaintances, and make it a really interesting project. <br /><br />And here's another idea to think about: What about having the person sign their name in your hymn book, next to their favourite? It would become a very special kind of autograph book. And every time you sang the hymn you'd be reminded of the person and could pray for him or her.<br /><br />You mention the Cyber Hymnal. Compiler Dick Adams is doing a wonderful job with it, and I've been a long-time contributor as well. If you have an interest in hymn history, I invite you to check out my own site, <i>Wordwise Hymns</i>. It tells you something that happened in hymn history related to each day of the year.<br /><br />God bless you and your family.roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435373461292769832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9672908576255934.post-49595750320941621262009-09-17T09:08:06.323-07:002009-09-17T09:08:06.323-07:00What a great idea!

For now I'm trying to just be more purposeful about singing to them in bed at night.<br /><br />(And seriously...what a treasure those letters are!)Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452505157572440483noreply@blogger.com
