Echos of Mercy...Whispers of Love...

Every summer, as a kid, I went to church a lot with my Nanny - there was always the smell of peppermint in the air.  Nanny kept peppermints in her purse to help us sing and so we wouldn't cough during the service. Nanny couldn't "carry a tune in a bucket" but I could sing and she loved to hear me.  Her favorite hymn was "Amazing Grace". Her second favorite was "Blessed Assurance".  These angels reminded me of a line in that hymn "angels descending bring from above, echoes of mercy, whispers of love".  Thanks, Nanny, for the wonderful memories.   I hope you, dear friends, hear the echoes and whispers today...
