Today I am thankful for: Kristie, playing at the park, Madi having fun at dance, Donna's good news (baby #2!), the kids trying something new at dinner, library books, loving on my babies, my hubby's thoughtfulness
One way I see the brilliance of God is music. I love music, music of all kinds. It never fails to amaze me what truly talented musicians can do with 8 notes and various octaves. I can hum a tune and make up a silly song, but people with genuine God-given musical talent awe me. Just think of how many songs are new and debuting all the time! God wanted us to have music for fun and expression, praise, lament, and communication. Music can evoke all kinds of emotions! Reading through the psalms one gets a clear picture of this--songs of praise, mourning, lamentation; songs, seeking courage, help, and forgiveness. There are songs expressing joy, songs of anger and pain. And the words are beautiful and poetic. I love a good tune, but a great lyric truly touches my heart! The books of the psalms are bursting with lovely words communicating man's need for God. I would LOVE to hear how these songs sounded when first played. It's fun to read through and recognize lines of famous praise songs here and there. How great that God gifted certain individuals to recreate or imagine beautiful rhythms and melodies to set these words to! Thank You, Lord, for touching my heart through music and song, and for giving me a way to learn about and share Your goodness!
