Memories of Music

Music by definition:Vocal or instrumental sounds possessing a degree of melody, harmony, or rhythm, has by far been a forefront definition for myself. I was aware of music before I was even born. I have a love for music that is embedded within my soul. The memories I have of my grandmother playing the piano,my mother,uncle ,aunt and grandfather singing songs with beautiful harmonization carries me through-even today.
There was a time win I was younger that 'The Poole Family' traveled about and sang at various church locations,revivals,and communities about the wonderful love of Jesus.
When some of those very familiar pieces of music are played-my memory takes over and I can see and hear those events again. No one could play like my grandmother-she would 'spice' the piano key changes up-to create a different sound effect.
Songs like-Hem of His Garment, He did it All for me,We have this moment,He looked Beyond my fault,are just a few examples of the songs they would sing.
I recently took the recording that the family has of "the Poole Family' Album that my mother had converted to a CD-and used that as my song I sung at church-He did it All for me.
The second verse my late grandmother had sung it as a solo- I sang along with her and harmonized to her beautiful voice as if she were right there with me playing and singing.

My grandmothers' inspiration and devotion to the Lord-has passed down among her children and the grandchildren as a witness to all of us. There are cousins that became pastors and other cousins that use their talents. The rest - the Lord has control over.
Myself-I was a prodigal daughter that returned and my life has the peace because of Him. Jesus continually Looked beyond my faults because He did it all for me I reached out and touched the Hem of His Garment for my soul was saved and healed. We have this moment -continually to live in that moment because life is ever changing -people are here then gone,families grow and people move away,and memories are what we have. Music lives within my family and myself. Jesus is the only way.
