The Inside Out

I am always bragging about my kids but tonight I found out something very interesting about them…they have great musical tastes! Both of them kept asking for my iPod…  and if you know me at all you know that my pod is one of my most precious material things…I go no where without it, listen to it constantly and freak out when I can’t immediately put my hands on it. I have left it at guitar practice twice and both times thought I may actually die cause I had left it behind! So I decided to let them make their own playlists and burn them CDs with pretty designs on them as a means to protect my beloved yellow pod. I let both kids choose what songs they wanted and I was absolutely shocked and impressed by what they chose! Sarah’s was a little predictable (HANNAH MONTANA!!) but some of Noah’s were a complete shock. I wish I’d been this cool when I was little. Without any further ado, I present my 6 and 4 year old’s playlists:

Noah (6):

 Sarah (4):

***Oh and Noah’s all include the most awesome rhythm on his drums (which are whatever you can beat on in the near vicinity). Sarah’s are all sung shaking her toosh or with her hands in the air. If it’s done with her eyes closed and face turned upwards, she’s singing it to God, not you.

Pure Joy

My

children

appreciate everything.

Just 4 the fun of it

Now, I know that I have children that are beyond all comprehension perfect and that I am spoiled rotten in the fact that they are totally well behaved 99.9% of the time…but sometimes I sit back and reflect on my day and realize…I want so much to be more like them. Noah and Sarah view the world like I want to. They see beauty in places I don’t even notice. They find fun in the tiniest of details. And they see each and every individual as a friend. Happiness is not an emotion to atttempt to reach each day, it is what comes natural. And it is easy. A rock is a place to smile at God. A tiny slice of concrete is a balance beam. And a sibling is permanent playmate. Yes, God gave me angels for children, but He also gives me such wonderful inspiration in them too. Without my children I would miss out on so much God has given me while I have this short stay on this tiny planet…and for them I am so thankful. Thank you Lord for my angels.

True love!
