It's About Time...

It's late tonight - we've had a full day. And ThatManILove and Younger Son are flying to Dallas tomorrow for a day trip.

I walk into our TV/music room and find them both playing guitars. And finally, Younger Son plays a couple of his songs and sings for us. We've heard him play, but this is a first, him singing for us.

His voice? Beautiful. His lyrics? Awesome.

I'm blown away. I've waited for this for a long time - I knew the apple didn't fall far from the tree - ThatManILove has a tremendous gift in writing and singing. It's sweet to see the manifestation of heritage in Younger Son.

It's a precious, precious thing I'm seeing tonight, and I'm so very grateful to the Lord for his giftings to the men of my house.

My fifteen year old daughter has a beautiful voice. Solos at school, stops signing the minute a parent walks in the room. I can fully understand and appreciate that you were blessed with a private concert last night.

What more could a mom want? Except clean bedrooms, etc.

Both of my girls have beautiful voices. Isn't it wonderful to just sit and listen to them sing? My dream is for them to do a duet, something they've never done!
Enjoy your son's talents!
