Hello again, my friends!
I'm back with my final Challenge page for the 2012 Hymn and Scripture Challenge! I have finally caught up for last year, but come Sunday I'll be a page behind for this year! lol That means you'll probably be seeing one or two more pages very soon, so I hope you enjoy them! For 2013 Patter is continuing with the Hymn and Scripture Challenge. I'm really happy about that! However, my 8 1/2 X 11 album is FULL, so I'm going to switch it up a bit and try 8 1/2 inch square pages. Okay, on to today's page!
Sweet Hour of Prayer is a beautiful hymn! It's all about prayer, and most of you know that is something that I love to do! I typed out all the words to the hymn so that you can read them easily. If it's too small to read, just keep clicking on the picture until it's big enough. For those of you who don't have the time or inclination to read the words I'll summarize: prayer is a wonderful thing! It's our way of communicating with God, and it's so much more. Oh, just read the words of the song because it says so much so well! :o)
Please read the Scripture verse on my page too. Another Scripture I wanted to use but didn't have room for is found in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18:

for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
Prayer is not just for asking God to do things for us, it is for praising Him and thanking Him for all His goodness to us! I could go on and on about prayer but I'll save some for the next time! lol Just remember that I pray for each one of you! :o)

So BEAUTIFUL!!~
Cindy,
As I listen to GBS sing, (he was raised about 30 miles from my home), I marvel at your page. The delicate pinks are beautiful, it might be the prettiest page I have ever seen.
I want to say THANK YOU for sharing it with us today.
Thank you for joining us at Word Art Wednesday.

Such a pretty design Nancy! I am loving your layout and choice of colours. Judy x
This is lovely Nancy! Love the pink and gray, the clock, flowers... all of it. It has a very calming vintage feel to it.
What a precious page. This takes me back to some precious moments with my grandmother as she lay dying several years ago. I sang it to her as I sat beside her in the hospital bed. She'd had a severe stroke, couldn't speak and was slowly slipping away. She'd played the hymn on her old pump organ years before when I was a little girl, and I'd sit next to her. It was so special to sing it to her again, and to know that the hours I spent praying for her were sweet indeed. Beautiful post. Thank you for sharing with us this week for our Word Art Wednesday challenge. We love having you share your inspirations there. Beautiful work!

stunning ! HUgs joyce
Oh WOW! This page is fantastic! I love your interpretation of the hymn with the images you have selected, and your flower grouping is stunning.
I had to chuckle because you brought an old adage to mind..."The hurrier I go the behinder I get". Seems to be my daily mantra anyway. You'll soon be caught up. Don't know how you manage to keep track with all the fabulous work you do have going on.
Love you - Leslie
So BEAUTIFUL!!~
BEAUTIFUL LAY OUT NANCY!!!!!!! :) I LOVE this old hymn too! AND I have ALWAYS had trouble with the typewriter!!! Even in my High School typing class! I'M JUST NOT GOOD AT TYPING!!!!!!!!! (The computer helps ALOT! ) My mom used to type on an IBM typewriter at work & type so fast she'd jam the typewriter! AND accurate too! NOT ME! :)
Nancy this is a beautiful page! Beautiful hymn!
Absolutely gorgeous! As I was reading your entry I had your video post playing....I must say I felt so calm. =)
Hugs, Elizabeth
