o is for oak

i was singing you to sleep

sort of mindlessly

we'd read your Jesus book

said our prayers

and we were just sort of laying in bed singing

not really thinking

just singing through some of our normal hymns

i was singing " 'tis so sweet to trust in jesus "

it's an all time favorite

i've sung it to you since you were a wee babe

over and over and over again

you were sort of batting your eyes

i was finishing the song...

"Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er;
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more! "

you sat straight up in bed and said

"o is for oak

not for grace

o is for oak"

;)

you really do listen

i love you.  thanks for listening when i sing. i hope we sing that song together many many more times

i love you sweet, girl
