Sing
This week, has been full of singing in our home and church. Last Sunday, Bethany and Jennea Heinrichs led our children in great music to worship Jesus as part of our Christmas program. The kids did a great job and they had so much joy singing the songs. It was great to watch each of them. That evening, we continued our singing as we went caroling at Schowalter Villa (our local nursing home). It was great hearing the harmonies and singing of multiple generations sharing the gift of song as an act of service to the elderly.
This week, our family has become hooked on Sing Off on NBC. It is a singing competition that started with 8 acappella groups. Each night some of the groups are eliminated. I have to admit it is the first time I have actually voted for anything on TV. The kids were so into it. These groups have tight harmonies and have all been great. It is amazing how all of the music is from their voices alone. Absolutely no instruments! We look forward to the finale on Monday, December 21st.
This Sunday, I am looking forward to our worship service at Hesston MB that will include a praise choir. This choir has been working for the last several weeks to share some special numbers as part of our worship. I heard them practicing last night and we will be blessed on Sunday. One of the songs that they are doing is called, "Sing" and includes a solo by Amy Turner. If you are looking for some place to attend church this Sunday and are in the Hesston area, come to Hesston MB Church.
All of these examples remind me of the power of song. It is not surprising that we are told in Psalm 100 to "make a joyful noise." Our house has been full of music the last few weeks with carols and Christmas music almost non-stop. I love this time of year. So, as we prepare for Christmas, with a joyful heart to Jesus, Go and Sing!
