Week 1 --- MUSIC


I am jumping onto the 52 weeks of gratitude bandwagon (thanks Amy and Nikki for bringing the idea my way). I love the idea of including what I am thankful for on my blog. Please remember that I am not giving any kind of order or priorities to my list. My weekly gratitude will be completely random. (If we all went in order of priorities or importance wouldn't many be similar, if not the same?)

I am thankful for music. What else can bring us joy, sorrow, anger, happiness, love, regret, and bring the Spirit into ourselves, homes and family so quickly as music. And you can get all those feelings by listening to the radio for less than an hour...he...he...he.

I have been really enjoying the myriad of music genres lately. I love introducing my kids to music I love to listen to and seeing them light up. I was privileged to hear a chorus of children sing "Love Is Spoken Here" two Sundays in a row. I love that song and it brings me to tears (even if only on the inside) each time I hear it.

Such a good one! I love music. By the way, how's my little Noah doing with the whole "new teacher" thing?

52 weeks of gratitude! Great idea. I am grateful for my kids, my husband, my dog (on good days), and cancelled meetings at work.
