Singing Hymns

I thought they were asleep, but I heard their voices in the monitor. I went upstairs and reminded K. and T. that when Mom and Dad arrived home they would check in on them. Back downstairs.... in the monitor I hear quiet crying.... louder crying... very loud crying. 

Upstairs again, I try to convince them that everything is fine... talking is not getting me anywhere.... Hmmm.... "Jesus Loves Me this I know...." When I finished that song they were quiet, still awake but quiet. So I sang more.... "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus in the morning, Jesus in the noon time.....Jesus, Jesus, Jesus when the sun goes down." 

They are still awake, but relaxing.... I continued. "Great is thy faithfulness, Oh God my Father. There is no shadow of turning with Thee. Thou changest not thy compassion it fails not, as thou has been thou forever will be." One more ...."Then sings my soul, My Saviour God to thee.... How Great Thou Art, How Great Thou Art". 

I love the old hymns. Thank you Lord for the opportunity to sing the girls to sleep with wonderful hymns that tell of your greatness. They are asleep and I enjoyed singing to them....worshipping.
