Burst Into Singing


If you're like me, then music touches your soul in a way that much else can't. I absolutely love music, and I thank God every day for placing me in a family with musical talents and abilities! And I'm so excited that my niece and nephews are already being exposed to our family sing-a-longs (see video). One of my all-time favorite things to do is to sit around with my family and sing at the top of our lungs, all finding our own harmony! In fact, a secret (well not-so-secret-now) dream of mine is to sing in a Gaither video!! If you were to ask me my favorite song or style of music, I would be as indecisive as my Christmas playlist on my iTunes! (Yes, as a matter fact, I do have Handel's Messiah and Charlie Brown Christmas among many others all shuffled together! And my cheerleaders introduced me to a fun version of "Drummer Boy", sung by Justin Bieber, of course.) :)
The songs of the season make me want to...
"Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music...(Psalm 98:4);"
This Christmas season, when the "...old familiar carols play...," burst into singing to the Lord, "for He has done marvelous things (Psalm 98:1)."
