Sing!

Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Sing to the LORD, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the heavens. Psalm 96:1-5

Singing. I love to but it is one thing I can not do. But as they say-it is a joyful noise. Thank goodness that that is in there! I can make some noise! Don't worry-I do it alone! Been tone deaf since I can remember. Use to be the source of some big fights around my house growing up. See-all the women back could play the piano and somewhat carry a tune. But then came me! I can throw a ball. Zing it in there. They thought I would be a great piano player because I was coordinated. Mother had high hopes when they told her that. She beamed. Until I sat down to learn. I couldn't hear the chords. Don't you hear that "A" or "G" they would ask. NOPe- I didn't. Strained to but couldn't. It was then discovered that I wouldn't carry that family tradition. Now for me-this was great. Football here I come, bring out the fun! But for mother is was sadness. So she tried to help me to hear and read music. And we fought. But this isn't about the sad or bad times. This is about singing. There was music in my house, always. We had a piano and organ. So even though I can't hear the notes or sing great-I keep singing! And I think as long as our hearts are in tune-God doesn't care about the voice. At least I hope! I don't want the rocks crying out in praise to Him because I worry about what I sound like! (Aren't you glad you aren't near!)

So what is your heart song today?
