Dad's Favorite Hymn

During my last visit in Archer, I asked Dad if he had a favorite hymn. After a pause of approximately a nanosecond, he replied, "Count Your Blessings, Hymn 241". If someone were to ask me the same question, I would mull it over forever, trying to choose a favorite. But not Dad, he knew his answer in an instant.

If he were to name his blessings, they would all have faces attached - yours and mine. I put those blessings and facings together with a bluegrass rendition of this hymn in this video. The pictures are familiar favorites that you've seen before, but I hope that you will see them in a new light with the melody of Dad's favorite hymn attached.
