So many of these hymns have helped me through hard places, gave words to my heart's thankfulness in joyful times, and learn more about my God. I loved this post.<br /><br />Praising Him,<br />PamelaPamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14577919062812348914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750080832955961363.post-44909131136540914522011-04-10T07:02:09.836-07:002011-04-10T07:02:09.836-07:00Hi Charlotte; thank you for visiting my post abou...Hi Charlotte; thank you for visiting my post about my dog Keeper. Yes, we found him but unfortunately he had been injured and I had to have him put down. Was a hard decision but it had to be done. Thank you for your prayers.Sherry Southardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08177560650155826454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750080832955961363.post-4464962273810000442011-04-10T04:38:59.394-07:002011-04-10T04:38:59.394-07:00I really liked reading your post.

I was so moved a few weeks ago when some one spontaneously started singing one of the old hymns during the offering, and one by one, people joined in with those beautifu old words filling our contemporary gym/sanctuary. I love that they have stood the test of time too.Anita Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06581280313136512145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750080832955961363.post-25645387483115038542011-04-09T14:26:49.774-07:002011-04-09T14:26:49.774-07:00Interesting observations, Charlotte.

I have noticed that the contemporary songs come for a year or two and then they're gone. Maybe we sing them so much we get tired of them. I agree with you about our society. Like you I love the story behind some of the old hymns. At our church we sing both hymns and contemporary songs. A lot of times the hymns are jazzed up a bit to make them more contemporary. I think we should sing them as they were written.<br />Have a great Sunday.<br />Blessings,<br />CharlotteCharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533075034458645148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750080832955961363.post-91323385750330597092011-04-09T13:17:07.254-07:002011-04-09T13:17:07.254-07:00I love the hymns and the stories behind them.

That's one of my favorite verses, I guess partly because of my name. Thanks for your comments on "The Spit of God" which I was a bit hesitant to post!Esther Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12129643709319136198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750080832955961363.post-86834896845083876972011-04-09T07:26:04.796-07:002011-04-09T07:26:04.796-07:00I'm with you, I cherish the old hymns.

My 21 year old has a favorite tape he listens to and yes, it is what he grew up with - the hymns. thank you for sharing.Sherry Southardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08177560650155826454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750080832955961363.post-11225375575237450662011-04-09T06:03:20.778-07:002011-04-09T06:03:20.778-07:00Beautiful and so true!

She prefers the Old Hymns over the contemporary music. This makes my heart glad! We must keep the old ones alive in those that we can influence. As my grandmother did me, I will my grandchildren some day.Monicahttp://homesteadingbyfaith.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
