Amazing Grace is one of the great hymns of the church, and has a great story behind it. However, that is not my topic for the day. When I was growing up and this song would be sung in church, I would have a little tickle of internal amusement because sitting there in the same pew was my sister Grace.
(Well, I admit this has happened even in my adult years when we would be in the same church service.)
Today Grace turns three-quarters of a century old. WOW! We definitely qualify as old ladies now--but we don't feel like it within ourselves. Our bodies may get a bit creaky and parts might not work as well as they used to and we'll not be running any races--but OLD? Just don't believe it!
So I want to wish our family's amazing Grace a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Love it! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteOh, how sweet! I had not seen all of those photographs!
ReplyDeleteFor most of them, I plucked her out of group shots. We sisters were rarely photographed alone in our young years. The 1997 shot was from Diahann's wedding and Grace was sitting on a sofa with a couple of others during the reception time. Of course, I have lots of other old photos with her in them, but that would have taken all day and been a bit excessive! Gotta save some for next year.
