Ohoh Praise Him

I am sitting here on my computer lost in blog world.  Lillian is upstairs taking a quick morning nap before we head to a pool.  The three older girls are in the living room playing with their dolls and stuffed animals and putting lots of pretties in their hair.  I am listening to all their little conversations back and forth to each other and their little animal friends.  I hear Madelynn break into song, "ooh oh praise Him, ooh praise Him, He is holy, He is holy" soon after, all three of them are joining in.  I was cracking up in the other room listening to their sweet voices.  

While we were in church yesterday, I was talking to Maddie about singing to Jesus.  We usually have the girls stand with us while we sing...not to be legalistic, but just because I love our worship time and really want the girls to understand what that time is really for.  God loves to hear us sing to Him:-)  It has been the desire of my heart to show our little gifts from God, how to live for Him every day of our life and in everything that we do.  I know they watch everything Terry and I do, and how we act.  We have a great responsibility to make sure that we are an example of Christ to them.  I am in awe of that huge yet awesome responsibility.  We are so thankful for these little blessings!
