A special moment in time

My boys cheered when they heard they do not have to go to church this a.m. I did something I have never done before. I stayed with my Grandma who lives with my parents so they could go to church. My grandma is over 80 and has had a rough winter so she was not going to church. It is also not safe to leave her alone. My boys went downstairs and watched Barney while I sat with Grandma at the dining room table singing with her out of the Christian Hymnal. What a blessing and priviledge. We do not attend the same church so I rarely ever sing with her. We must have sang for about 2 hours minus interupptions! She wanted to sing familiar hymns but also wanted to hear ones that she didn't know so sometimes I was singing solos! After some hymns she would share how meaningful that song was or that song brings back memories. I was wishing I had a way of recording that moment. It will go down as a special memory for me of time with Grandma. I wonder how I could scrapbook that moment?
After that I stayed for dinner and enjoyed my mom's good cooking. She cooks simple, but delicious.
The next special moment of the day was a phone call from my sister Kathryn who is running an orphanage with her husband Galen in Ghana, West Africa. I have not seen her in over a year now. She called to talk to mom, then mom graciously shared some of that time with me so we were able to catch up.
Just got a phone call from hubby who is sitting in a Flying J truck stop waiting for a tornado to pass through. He is on his way to Little Rock, AK
