Once again, I had a crying fit during the service. We sang "Come Ye Sinners Poor and Needy," a favorite of Natasha. I remembered the sound her singing the chorus, "I will arise and go to Jesus, He will embrace me in His arms. In the arms of my dear Saviour, O, There are ten thousand charms." She would repeat the last line, slowing it down, weighting each with with it's unique presentation, her voice always going upward on "ten thousand charms." She sang it all the time when she was a child, at bedtime, on car trips, and she sang it to Mercedes.
"Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me." Mark 9:37
