Praise

          A few weeks ago, my sister and her family came in (late) to church, while we were singing congregation songs.  She was carrying my nephew who was sleeping on her shoulder.  It didn’t take long for the noise to stir him and he woke up.  He turned around, sitting on her lap and immediately began to smile and clap his hands to the music. 
            As I watched his chubby little hands, I got tears in my eyes.  I want to be like that…able to praise God at any given moment.  I looked back at my hymn book and really let the words I was singing run deep down to my core.  It wasn’t long before I started clapping my own hands!

“I will Praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart;  I will shew forth all thy marvelous works.”
Psalm 9:1
