we sing a lot in our home...
growing up, my mother's singing was a constant back drop to our lives, so it was quite natural that i, too, sing throughout our days. it keeps me at peace & centered...it helps me be patient when the children are running
amok. it calms & sometimes even distracts them when they are tired/hungry...
the boys have now
inherited this gift of song, it is
contagious! i have even caught their papa making up little songs & jingles...i love it! i love listening to their sweet voices...it brightens my day, definitely.
the other night, we chose to read our bedtime story outside on the front porch & enjoy a gently thunderstorm.
ehren, our 3 year old, made up this sweet song that night, which we now sing each might before bed...
"rain, thunder & sun
it is dark, it is dark
in the day the sun will light"
it is such a sweet verse...full of a gentle love & reverence for mother nature. i love it...
