The Greatest Commandment

My cousins---aka The VonTrap Family Singers---sang this at Papa's Celebration Memorial this past weekend and I can't get it out of my head! So I'm sharing with anyone and everyone. It's call The Greatest Commandment.

Since everything in my life can be related to either a Broadway musical or Biblical scripture, I'll add for today Jean Valjean's line from Les Miserables "to love another person is to see the face of God." My grandparents were married for 61 years August 13th---the day Papa Max came home from the hospital to die. SIXTY-ONE years. It literally boggles my mind. I was glad I was able to hold Grannie's hand when she said goodbye for the last time.

I am so grateful for family. The Talley family song...For all that you've done I will thank you, for all that you're going to do, For all that you've promised and All that you are, is All that has carried me through, Jesus I thank you.
