167. I am thankful for the rain and the healing that it brings. I am thankful for the new year ahead and the promise that it brings. I am thankful for the discoveries that I've made recently on my family tree. I am thankful for friends that don't betray trust for any reason. I am thankful for Kate and Braden and their perseverance. I am thankful for books that are written in such a way that you have no choice but to feel something.
This song was shared on another blog that I visited today: The Berry Patch . It was such a touching song that I wanted to share it with you here on One Thousand Gifts.
Please let me know what you think of it. I had never heard of this singer before tonight. I am glad that I visited The Berry Patch and found a new voice by which to be blessed.
This is a hard one for me. I have a lot of "favorite" songs because I like songs across many genres of music. So, I'll dig way back into my past, to a song that I loved dearly as a little girl. Every Sunday when the music director asked for requests, I asked for the same song, without fail.
"The Old Rugged Cross"
I wanted to post a version with Elvis singing it. He is my all-time favorite singer. The ones that I found tagged as Elvis were clearly not Elvis. However, Loretta's voice is much like the voice of those that I grew up with and I love her music, too.
This song means a lot to me no matter who is singing it. Just hearing it brings me the comfort that I found in church as a little girl, where I knew, with no doubts, that Jesus loved me and would always be here for me.
