Praise- Day 7

Praise Him for His creation.

Our family loves to spend time outdoors. If there’s a tree, Levi’s climbing it- if there’s an open space Kai has run across it- if there is something to  admire Aliyah will find it and spend time appreciating it. I find it easy to have my heart and spirit open to God when I’m surrounded by His majestic creation- from tall mountains- to beautiful sunsets and roaring rivers- to delicate flowers, or the brightest starry sky- to feeling the wind on my face- all creation expressing its praise to the Maker. I too lift my heart to Him who has made me and loves me.

Calm your soul- breathe. Warm your face in the sunshine- lay back and watch a bird flying high in the sky or the leaves rustle on a tree. Be in the moment enjoying the sound of praise to Him, not letting the distractions of fear or anxiety to get in the way. 

Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord from the heavens
Praise Him in the heights above
Praise Him all His angels
Praise Him all His heavenly hosts

Praise Him sun and moon
Praise Him all you shining stars
Praise Him you highest heavens
And you waters above the skies

Let them praise the name of the Lord
For He commanded and they were created.
Psalm 148:1-5

Burstin' With Broadway!

Image
I've joined an awesome choir called Burstin' with Broadway. It is so much fun cause it's open to anyone that wants to be a part of a choir for fun, and all the songs that we sing are Broadway type musicals. We only meet once a week, and throughout the week we have a CD to practice with (many of the choir members actually can't read music) But it's so amazing to see how excited everyone is to be a part of this choir and how surprised they are at themselves for what they have accomplished. Somedays it's surprises me to. In the photo you will see some of the compilations we are singing this season. We will soon be singing our pieces in some elite places like the local old folks home...and our final concert will be June 10/06, at a United church in North Vancouver. Click here for the website!

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place.
