..music...makes my soul sing..

spent some of the day downloading old songs off iTunes.. got me all sentimental... ELO, Chicago, Barclay James Harvest... Chris de Burgh... Phil Collins, Elton John..

music is just such a wonderful thing the Lord gave us..

had a very sweet friend tell me today I could come over and she would play her harp for me... how nice is that.. and that just because I commented on her status on Facebook where she was asking about any engagements and wedding plans as a result of today.. "that I wish.. but no... :( "

music.. I have thought many times the fact that God gave us music tells a lot about His heart... about how much He cares and who He really is..

without music life would be so empty .. less beautiful... there is something about music that makes our souls sing.. there are so many songs that never fail to touch the deepest places of my heart.. my innermost being resonates with music on such a deep level.. I don't know what I would do without it..

how kind of Him to enrich our lives this way..

was thinking the other day that I really need to get my violin out again..  and I need to sit down on my piano and play again.. when I was a child my piano was were I was able to move beyond whatever had upset me... a release... music ministering to my soul...

every Sunday I can lose myself in the wonderfully long Worship time we have.. offering my heart and my soul to the One who is worthy to be praised.. what a privilege..

lifting my hands in praise to Him, leaving my burdens at His feet and giving Him my all.. sometimes I wish I could stay there.. 

some very dear friends made a point today to tell me they love me and again I am touched by the kindness and thoughtfulness of my sisters in Christ.... 

they are...

Christ before me 

Christ above me 

Christ beneath me 

Christ beside 

Christ my vision 

Christ my wisdom 

Christ my comfort 

Christ my guide

so thankful for the community of believers He has placed me in.... I have done nothing to deserve their love and support... blessed beyond belief..... you know who you are... and I LOVE YOU TOO..

and not just today ;)
