Several days ago, my husband, daughter and I were running errands and an upcoming concert was mentioned. We recently missed two local concerts of favorite Christian artists. So I had not planned to attend this concert either. Life has just been busy, overwhelming, challenging and exhausting lately. Attending a concert didn't seem like a priority.
But my precious husband offered to send Rachel and me to the concert. As soon as we arrived home, we went online and bought tickets! We were thrilled.
It has been years since I last saw Sandi Patty in concert. For decades, I have listened to her music, purchased her albums, played piano for soloists singing Sandi's songs in college and churches, directed her music in choirs and sang her songs continually.
Yet tonight was even more special. Although Rachel literally heard Sandi's music often before birth, and sang her solos publicly, my daughter now sat beside me watching Sandi Patti sing for the very first time. Countless memories went through my mind and heart as I watched Rachel...watch Sandi.
I began to wonder. If God's incredible gift of music touches lives that tenderly for years, how much greater can His amazing love change lives...and this world? There are countless ways to share His love, hope, kindness and compassion.
Tomorrow is a new day with opportunities to sing...serve...and share His love. No, I won't be boarding a chartered bus and traveling all over the world to sing with Sandi. I will have opportunities with family, friends, neighbors and our community. May I share His Song in my heart with lots of love.♥~thl
"Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise Him!" Psalm 147: 1
