I'll Be Home In The Mornin' [BMI]
Originally recorded in 1986, my Grandmother, Lela Ethel Burgess-Nalley, had died a few years before. If you notice, my copyright is 1974. I wrote this song 10+ years prior to Grandma's death. The inspiration was Grandma telling me when she was in the room when 'her' mother died...hearing her mother's last words... 'God Bless you...meet me in heaven'. [As accounted in my book, 'Raised-Up Hard in the Georgia Pines'...available online and ebooks]. The testimony of my Great-Grandmother to my Grandma made a deep impression on me. Then, when it was Grandma's time to die, I was the only one with her as she 'passed on'. I knew, because of her profession of faith in Jesus, and because her life bore 'fruit' as she lived for Christ... I knew, she 'Would Be Home in the Mornin'!

A Prayer for Spending Money - Your Daily Prayer - May 29
No one is immune to the negative hold that money can have on our hearts in plenty or in want. I am a spender. I like to shop and get new things. However, God has taught me throughout my life to pray about my spending and to listen to the still, small voices that lead me in my financial decisions. God desires us to live a life of generosity, putting God before money. We cannot serve both God and money.
