C Dawn's bucket said...

uhm.....I think maybe my funny bone is broke....can you break it down for me?

Mamawags said...

of course I did silly. you didn't get mine?

Mom of 3, It's from a church hymn. Did you think to Pray. We sang it in Sacrament meeting last Sunday. I always get confused at that part. "Balm of Gilead did you borrow?"

Judy, I guess I didn't get your joke. Now I'M the loser who need the joke explanation.

Apparently I am the one who is off! I just thought it would be funny to ask to borrow some since I had no idea what it was.

Mamawags said...

ya. so what is it anyway? did you figure that out yet?

Likely said...

it is a healing ointment used in biblical times. you can google it.

I remember a beautiful hymn that begins with "There is a balm in Gilead ... " but I don't think it's the same as the "Did you Think to Pray" line. I'm sure it can be Googled, but I haven't had time to do that. Hugs from Grandma Helen
