When we came home with N. (from the Philippines) way back in 2008 (has it been 3 years already?) my dad's cousin came to visit her mom and brought her grandson along for the visit. Yes Linda, I'm talking about you! While we visited, a cd was playing in the background...VeggieTales Worship Songs...
I think I ordered the cd as soon as I got home. I just loved it. I guess N. was a little young to appreciate the songs. He was more into ABC's, Old MacDonald, 5 Little Monkeys etc... This past week as I prepared for our 2 hour journey to Ottawa, I decided I'd wipe the dust off the cd and listen to it in the car. It was awesome. There was something so encouraging and touching listening to N. belt out, "God of Wonders". I didn't even know he knew the words. He must really take in the lyrics to songs I listen to and during worship at church on Sunday mornings. N. even asked me to replay, "You Are Holy". As a mom this was a great moment for me. N. may not fully comprehend what he is singing about and what it truly means to worship, but the fact that he is singing about the love of Christ and that he is memorizing the lyrics is a GREAT start and the Lord only knows what this will develop into years from now...a worship leader, perhaps?!?!
All you moms/dads out there, if you haven't already bought this cd or one like it, may I recommend you buy your child a copy...you can even buy it off iTunes...and the bonus? Moms and dads will even enjoy it.
