Today I am thankful for music. I listened to Kristina practicing the clarinet and watched as Christian packed his recorder in his backpack to take to music class yesterday. It made my band nerd heart swell with happiness. I watched as my son who can't sit still for the life of him, sat still for 30 minutes in awe as the bands were out on the field during halftime a few weeks ago. He looked at me in amazement as the drumline pounded out cadences and flutes and trumpets belted our solos. I love hearing him walk around the house singing his little heart out.
I love the way that music seems to drown out the thoughts in my head that are keeping me awake. I love love love listening to music in the car and hearing voices in the back seat singing along. I love hearing Kristina singing songs that she sings in church while she is putting the dishes away.
I love hearing Kristina and her friends belting out songs that are on the radio and giggling over the lyrics.
I love music and how good for the soul it is. Thank you God for the grace you have shown us in giving us music.
Living this crazy life the Robles way. It's not always easy, but it's always worth it.
