Do You Remember When?

[gratefulgrace]

I actually wanted to add one more. You MSN your kids and give them a NUDGE to remind them it is time for dinner. gg

I can really remember the Hymn He Lives for some reason. gg

Y'know, I'd never heard that until about a year ago when our pastor's father died. His funeral was attended by many of his peers (he was 80+) and the church was packed to the rafters. And they sang that hymn! Apparently he was well known for playing hymns on his harmonica on the bus to and from work every day and that was his favourite. Oh, how that building rang to the sound of all those lovely Baptist men singing it out with gusto! I shall never forget it.

Well, I've been having a wonderful "I remember when..." (like we needed any encouragement!). I joined a forum for Buddy Holly fans which I am proud to call myself. (No not a forum - a fan!)

Well I put this siggy on my posts and quickly found myself the toast of the board! My siggy? "I saw him LIVE!!"

So few people that did see him live (well, in the UK, anyway) are either lapsed fans or don't remember! Or maybe they just haven't joined the forum! So I've been having a wonderful time recalling that terrific evening when I saw him at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.

And I started rooting out all the stuff I've kept for the past 48 years and found I have an amazing collection of newspaper cuttings,, articles and pictures of the time. And I still have the programme and the tickets from that concert.

"Oh Boy", do I remember when...!

I can really remember the Hymn He Lives for some reason. gg

Is this how it goes?:
He lives, He lives,
Christ Jesus lives today..
He walks with me and He talks with me
Along life’s narrow way…..

If so...I still sing it in my heart...I learned this one in the Baptist Church too...

 

[flaglady]

Yep, that's it ... !

 

[Tatyanna]

Yep, that's it ... !

the part I like best is:
"You ask me how I know He lives
He lives within my heart".....

Yes, they do.

It is funny that out of all the hymns I am sure we sang at the church, that this is the one that I remember. Maybe it was the hearty singing. But I was just a wee girl remember so it must have been pretty dynamic.gg

As the season approaches I am remembering Thanksgivings and Christmases years back.

I think I cherish most the memory of when my older kids were in grade school in the early seventies and our youngest was just a baby girl three months old. She wore the same Santa Suit the other two had worn. You remember those stretchy outfits...this one was red and white. I am tickled as I remember how she smiled most of the time. They are so cute and responsive at three months. And that year we made several wooden ornaments to hang on the tree. I designed them, my husband cut them out of wood, and we all painted them. Also made a tissue paper bouquet (tissue paper flower making was my hobby then) poinsettas in tissue paper(now that was work) and a huge gingerbread boy which we didn't eat, but I hung on the wall with a tin foil background.

Ah, memories!

I didn't remember Holly until I saw the movie with Gary Busby some years ago. I do remember LaBamba though.

And birdfriend:

I remember a Thanksgiving holiday when we all went to a friend's house to watch "It's a Wonderful Life." What was different was that we didn't have videos then and it wasn't being shown on t.v. We saw it on a screen and it was shown on a Bell and Howell projector. That holiday was so special. Now I watch it every Christmas.

That is thanks for sharing a holiday memory.
