...And so there is one more reason I will always remember this group of amazing women....You were the first friends with whom I learned the Johnny Appleseed Grace song! I plan on teaching it to my children. So, for any who wants to remember too:
Johnny Appleseed Grace (song):
Oh, the Lord's been good to me. And so I thank the Lord For giving me the things I need: The sun, the rain and the appleseed; Oh, the Lord's been good to me.
Here is the rest of the song:
Oh, and every seed I sow Will grow into a tree. And someday there'll be apples there For everyone in the world to share. Oh, the Lord is good to me. Oh, here I am 'neath the blue, blue sky Doing as I please. Singing with my feathered friends Humming with the bees. I wake up every day, As happy as can be, Because I know that with His care My apple trees, they will still be there. The Lord's been good to me. I wake up every day As happy as can be, Beacuse I know the Lord is there Watchin' over all my friends and me The Lord is good to me.
This is a good video to help remember the tune:

Love it, love it, love it!!! I hadn't sung that little song in years and it was so wonderful to sing it with all of you dear ones!! Amen!
ReplyDeleteI love it and so do the girls. We put it on this morning-Mayah informed me that she already knew it from Miss Julie! LOL! I am also going to teach it to them. I always envisioned my children just singing praises to the Lord throughout the day and this is one of those tunes that you just can sing all day.....
ReplyDeleteThanks!
BTW-we have sung twice together now...WAY out of my comfort zone and I just love it!!!! God is good!
