Saturday I had the privilege of sitting on a screened porch rocking beside my Sweet Granny.

We read stories about the authors of hymns and the history behind the hymn.

We sang each hymn that we knew for 2 hours.

With each story we learned that most of them were written by people who suffered great tragedy.

They all were overcomers and expressed their dependency on God through song and verse.

They praised God and rejoiced in His love and focused on their victories.

Victory in Jesus! 

If you have a Sweet Granny sing hymns with her.  If not, find someone to sing hymns with and sing until you have laryngitis like me!
