When You Sing, I See Monsters

Here are a couple of recent anecdotes involving singing:

Naomi does seem to have a good ear for music. It may be a little too good. The other night I was tucking her into bed, after our quick bedtime prayer time together, and asked her if she wanted me to sing with her. She responded, “No, Daddy, when you sing, I see monsters.”

A week or so ago after church on the church playground, Naomi and Isaac were on the swings, Isaac on one set and Naomi on another. They were both singing a beautiful praise song, and my heart was full of joy. Then, after a few minutes, Naomi decided she wanted to sing all by herself: “Isaac!” she screamed, “Let me sing by myself!” It wasn’t quite as praiseworthy.

  1. I remember when Beth was in Kindergarten and I overheard her singing “Be A Missionary Every Day” as she was swinging and when Tim was at that same age and sang “Make Me a Blessing” in an “Amateur Night” at a resort we visited in Jamaica. Those are precious memories that can STILL make me sniffy…I’m glad you have like memories.
