Keep on singing.........

Thinking of today's date, September 11, 2001, I remembered that I was on the playground at our school with 15 little children, when our secretary,Ruth came running outside and told us to come in quickly ( she tried not to appear upset for the sake of the kids, but it was obvious something was terribly wrong).It was a very sad and tragic day,and many of us were sobered ,realizing how many people died on that day,but I also remember God's goodness to me that morning,very clearly directing me to Psalm 59 where David says"I will sing of your of your strength,yes I will joyfully sing of your lovingkindess,in the morning.for You have been my stronghold and a refuge in the day of my distress"When we were told we couldn't take the children out on the playground for the next several weeks,I said to the Lord"What are we going to do"????? and He said SING!!!!!So we sang .And thanks be to God,the little ones in our class were able to ride this storm with a happy heart.The music time that began with September 11,2001, still goes on today,because every Thursday and Friday we get together with the 4 year old class to SING.There is a Proverb (and Solomon was the wisest man to ever live)that says"He who has a glad heart has a continual feast,reguardless of circumstances"Prov.15:15God is so good not only to prepare us but to give us His wonderful grace and wisdom in very challenging times of our lives!!!Thank you my Precious Jesus,you truely are an awesome God!!!
