There is a song that I love that reminds me of our oldest son. When he was very young, he danced in the living room with me to it. It’s a special song about growing up that I’ll always cherish, especially as he ages. He’s not too far off from adulthood and the years dancing with his mama are no longer. That’s ok, I understand. He’s growing up! But every time I hear the song I smile and think of that dance in the living room, when he was still small. Though the words to that very song, are more fitting now that he is more grown. Music has a special way of helping us hold onto cherished memories. I am grateful to God for this. I truly believe God gave us music as an extra something beautiful as we navigate and experience life. We must just be careful that what we listen to doesn’t go against God. For music is especially made for praising Him! I hear the song in my head and I carry that dance with my little boy in my heart. As I hear the lyrics even different now, as he is becoming who God called him to be. I sure am grateful to God for the gift of music.
