I can hear in my memories Mama playing our old upright piano and singing beautifully, "Fill My Cup, Lord, I lift it up, Lord," with all her heart. Her left-handed playing was unusual and I loved hearing it. Thanks to her love for sitting down to the piano and singing southern Gospel and the old … Continue reading Fill My Cup, Lord

Can You Imagine?!
Some of you may recognize some of this as from an old post. This just seemed to fit with Easter coming up and with the times being what they are with a worldwide pandemic.
