I am thankful for the gift of music.
🎹 One of the joys of my life is listening to my daughter Bekah play the piano. She treats us to impromptu concerts and she takes requests. She plays classical music, show tunes, folk songs, and hymns.
Recently, Bekah was looking at some Christmas music on Amazon and came across a book of songs from Josh Groban's album, Noel. She grabbed her tablet, opened the "look inside" feature, and played sample pages of several beautiful Christmas arrangements. Of course, since these were sample pages, each selection ended abruptly and the lovely music ended. I think we're going to need to purchase this book . . .
Yes, definitely one of the joys of my life.

🎹 I love Thanksgiving music.

🎝 "For the Beauty of the Earth"
♬ "We Gather Together"
Or the newer . . .

I have told you before about the CD that we play in November, a wonderful collection of Thanksgiving songs and hymns. It accompanies the book Thanksgiving: A Time to Remember by Barbara Rainey.

We sing a hymn together each year before we eat our Thanksgiving dinner. Last year was "Come, Ye Thankful People, Come." This year, we think it will be "My Heart is Filled with Thankfulness." It is so meaningful to sing a song of praise before the feast.
🎹 I am especially thankful for how music is a vehicle for worship.
A hymn or a spiritual song can stir your soul, teach doctrine, convict your heart, encourage you in the journey, and inspire you to worship the Creator. Singing words of truth transcends the everyday, the commonplace, and takes us to Heavenly places!

I had no idea that there were THAT many Thanksgiving songs. Yes, Bekah and all the family will enjoy that music book.
ReplyDeleteAnd then there is "Over the River and Through the Woods," which I had forgotten until someone mentioned it!
DeleteI can't wait to get that book in her hands and hear whole songs!
It sounds like a wonderful gift for the whole family for Bekah to receive that sheet music, Cheryl. Music stirs my soul unlike no other. I find a hymn or tune visits me often. Some call it an ear worm, but I call it a gift from above.
ReplyDeleteI like that, Martha Ellen! A gift from above. Yes, I think that music book will be a gift to all of us!
DeleteI'm so thankful for music in my life and how it brings me into worship. Sounds like a good gift for Beka!
ReplyDeleteMusic is powerful!
DeleteNow that sounds like a wonderful tradition ... to sing the song of thanksgiving before your festive meal. And that music book Bekah found does sound delightful.
ReplyDeleteIt is so meaningful to sing our thanksgiving!
DeleteThe music book is due to arrive tomorrow. Yay!
