National Music Month

Since it is National Music Month we are going to spend the day listening to our favorite Christian station 93.7 WDJC! Our favorite way to praise the lord is through music.

Psalms 98: 1-9 says "Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. The Lord has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations. He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the neds of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music; make music to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, with the trumpets and the blast of the ram's horn--shout for joy before the Lord, the King. Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy; let them sing before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equality."

Doesn't that just touch your heart?! Just A Little Talk With Jesus is one of our favorite Hymns. It makes me smile when Blake and I sing it while driving down the road and Paxton joins in. I feel like God gets so happy when we sing to him and I feel so energetic when I sing to him all day. You can make a shoebox guitar for your kids to join in and sing along like the one above. They can feel like they are playing the harp like in the verse above. Teach them what a whole note, half note, quarter note and sixteenth note are and make them really feel like they are playing a harp for God.

Ephesians 5:19 states " Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always give thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
After reading this and doing the activity I hope you find it in your heart to say a prayer for the musicians in our lives.
