The last time I visited my friend, Lonnell I was praying on my way there and asking the Lord what I could say or do to encourage her. The thought entered my mind that I should sing to her. Now I can't say as I've ever done that before; gone to visit someone in the hospital and break out in song. However, I had a strong feeling about this the entire drive there so I thought maybe I should sing her favorite hymn since I knew she loved the old hymns.

It was very moving, it really touched me. Thank you for singing it." I thanked her for telling me that story and I wish I had actually connected with her more afterward because you never know when you obey God's leading what He
