Monday Musings: Worship through song

What’s more beautiful
than hearing your son praise God,
lifting up his voice?

Yesterday’s worship service was particularly moving for me, on several levels. First of all, our pastor has experienced numerous health problems this year, and I felt so thankful that he was well enough to preach. It is also the Christmas season, which reminds me of my brother, so I was feeling a bit emotional about that, already. But, what really stirred my heart was overhearing one of my boys sing.

I don’t even really know how to explain it, because I hear people singing all around me every week. There was just something remarkable that sparked in my spirit when I heard his voice aside from the rest. To be reminded that one day, we too – mother and child, sister and brother – will stand together before the throne and worship our heavenly father forever and ever … that was truly moving.
