Stuart Hamblen This Old House

[@teenamedlock7284]

I once heard Stuart tell that story. He mentioned seeing an old Bible lying on the table. He said there were rose bushes in the yard. He said he knew this roses had likely been carried into that valley on a mule. Beautiful story.

[@lorenheard2561]

Probably a gift for his Wife I'll bet! 🌹💖Roses were a special thing to cart up to lonely areas .

this brought tears and perspective. how wonderful our God is, so many years later and it still has message we are suppose to have.

[@babyr3ject927]

@@babyr3ject927 the reaper comes to all of us sooner or later but you are so mad 😡 it’s like When you’re driving in your car & your vehicle breaks down what do you do ?you open the door get out and walk it’s same thing , like your body’s a vehicle that breaks down So then you get out & fly when your spirit leaves your body but the question is where are you going to go when you die are you going to the sky with the Lord ?not if you keep talking the way you are doing Ya need to except the free gift of Jesus Christ John 316

In case you're wondering ... when he left, Hamblen put the dog over his saddle and took it to a new home.

Oh good.

I WAS wondering if he fed the poor faithful.

[@wellingtonwhite2546]

My dad and I loved this story. He created a sermon and chalk talk art work. People got saved ! So good to hear again.

[@alr9967]

I’m back for this song every Easter morning.as the years go by I grieve for more souls. Doesn’t matter. Easter morning is the reason we’ll see them again.

[@lorenheard2561]

Amen! Yes we shall!!🕊️☘️❤️🐦🌌💖Thank You Jesus!💜

[@grantalbrecht4402]

God bless Stuart Hamblen. Used to listen to him on the radio.

[@esthermiller2713]

I well remember this beautiful song full of hope for a future free of sin and death. I was eight when he wrote this song, living with my family in a big house in a sprawling country community. We of course had no TV back then. I would’ve heard it on the radio. This brings back happy memories. 👍🏻❤️🇨🇦

[@BenJoynerCollection]

Stuart's preamble puts the song into a completely different perspective. Very touching.

[@railbaron1]

This _is_ what I thought "This Old House" was about. A story of a man who had lead a full life, who had no regrets, and was ready to "Meet the Saints" and possibly his wife in the hereafter.

[@billbright1755]

Bravely fighting the battle of time.

[@imacreeator]

How well I remember this song from my childhood~~now this old house is my story. Thank you! i love the story~~~

This song has such great meaning we are to leave our body;our house; and go to be with Jrsus

[@readthebible67]

Nicely done. Thank you! I really enjoyed hearing the "story behind the story" of a beloved song.

[@bethhart7033]

Am speechless! So different from the song writing of today! O my!

[@JaneAbercrombie]

I love this song!!!!

[@Seazer009]

Never heard this story before but I have listened to this song since childhood..I'm sure the Dog was cared for any man who would write this would not leave a Dog to starve to death..

[@missdbrooks]

Actually, Veeva told me her Dad was out alone when came across this old cabin. She had another story about him playing cards with John Wayne & some other guys & he had made the comment to Wayne when he was leaving that it is no secret what God can do. She gave me a box of tapes from his radio programs. That's when we got talking about this story behind the song.

[@judysevor5642]

Certainly worthy of another share.

[@AuntieMHere]

I love this video so much... so many decades after hearing it for the first time. Might sound silly, but I wonder what became of the faithful dog? :]

[@21joerice]

I've heard this old recording on an old record my great-grandmother had, been familiar with it for over 40 years. As a kid of 3 or 4, didn't quite understand what I was listening to, but it was always so spooky sounding, and the scene described was always so eerie. Still is. Ha!
