This morning, while Mom was awake, I sang to her To God Be the Glory - one of her many favorite hymns. On the chorus, she began mouthing the words with me....with emphasis as only Glenda Cole can. At 6am, she made that old hymn come alive. Singing under a bipap machine with energy. That's energy and hope rolled into 1 package.

To God be the glory
Great things He hath done
So loved He the world
That He gave us His Son
Who yielded His life
An atonement for sins
And opened the lifegate
That all may go in!

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the people rejoice!
O, come to the Father
Through Jesus the Son
And give Him the glory great things He hath done!

always singing,
