Goodnight Sweetheart...

One of the first things that attracted me to my wonderful husband was his beautifully deep, rich baritone singing voice.  I can remember sitting in the pew at Chestnut Street UMC in Lumberton, NC and thinking "Wow, now that is a voice I could fall asleep listening to every night, Lord."  Never for one minute, however did I think that he'd ever give me the time of day, much less marry me!  I think the hymn may have been Were you there? 

Now, 9 1/2 years later, through the miracle of telephones, I get to listen to him sing our girls to sleep from Atlanta.  They love for him to sing them the chorus from that old song Goodnight Sweetheart...fitting, don't you think? 

As much as I hate him being gone all week long, almost all year long...I will cherish this memory. 

Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.  Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Ephesians 5: 19-20
