There are some things that are just music to my ears. I love listening to a trickling brook, a crackling fire in the winter, sounds of crickets in the distance on a cool summer night, the joyous sounds of worshippers giving their all to God...
The other day after I got home from work Shelby said, "Daddy, would you like to hear my memory verse today?" I said, "I sure would sugar." She began in her soft 5 year old voice, "For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. Psalm 33:4" At that moment, I can honestly say, I don't know that I've ever heard a sweeter sound in all my life.
After that first paragraph I really was looking forward to saying, "Hey ever since you turned 37 you've become soft, 'a tricking brook', common!" And then you had to hit me with the kid and verse thing. Jerk! Isn't it awesome when our kids do something like that. God is great, and faithfull!
ReplyDeleteWhat I meant to say was "trickling" and "come on!" There maybe that makes more sense now!
ReplyDeleteI think those sounds are right on as far as being sweet. Usually what I hear is "droids attack" or "I just stabbed you with my lightsaber." Don't feel like you're being too nostalgic though. I'll be forty in a little over a month and I've been taking pictures of clouds with (accidentally typed "sith") my cell phone. You are right about the sound of a crackling campfire. Next time we're having one I'll yell at you out the back door and invite you over. :]
ReplyDeleteIf I could favorite a blog, I'd put a star next to this one and favorite it.
