There's a new routine with our precious Boomer and Beethoven. Just before putting them to bed, I sing a goodnight song to them. I used to sing to our daughter and son as I tucked them in during their childhood. It seems only right that I sing to our canine children at bedtime, too.
I don't really understand why they chose their response so quickly. Yet it is adorable. Once I begin singing the "night, night" song, they both stand up immediately, put their paws on my shoulders eagerly and kiss my face... thoroughly. I suppose they sense that they are greatly loved and are expressing their affection, too.
I began thinking. One of my favorite Scriptures refers to God singing over us. I don't know how I would travel this journey of life without His love and hope. Yet I am touched deeply knowing that the Creator of the universe...the King of Kings and Lords, the Great I Am...sings over me lovingly, tenderly, compassionately, assuredly and delightfully.
May I respond to Him with much love, gratitude and expression immediately, genuinely and consistently. His Presence on this journey makes a difference...completely.<3~thl
"The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." Zephaniah 3: 17
