This has nothing to do with anything previously said or any relevant topic at all (except worship itself!), but I want to share something with you.
This has been an extremely busy December for me, and thus my family. There have been many mornings when it'll hit me that, "Oh, I've got [this and that] to take care of today, and then I've got to talk to [this and that person] about [this or that], and then I've got to rehearse for [whatever is coming up], and then..." -- just the busyness of the day staring me straight in the face (and laughing an evil laugh). So I'll be going about my morning, and then I'll hear my just-three-year-old Caleb singing his current favorite song: "This is the day, this is the day, that the Lord has made, that the Lord has made. We will rejoice, we will rejoice, and be glad in it, and be glad in it..." The simplicity of that song sung by a young boy, the simplicity of its message, and the simplicity of the truth that God, our Creator, our Abba, never leaves us or forsakes us, is something that God uses (almost) daily to change my attitude and remind me of his love for me and his wonderful healing presence.
I'm thankful for this day, and and I hope you are, too.

Your thoughts remind me of my favorite Lewis quote of all time (I say it almost every day):
"The real problem begins the moment you wake up each morning. All of your hopes and wishes (and stresses and anxieties) come rushing at you like wild animals. And the first job consists simply in shoving them all back; listening to that other voice; taking that other point of view; letting that other larger, quieter, stronger life come flowing in. And so on, all day. Stepping back from all of your natural fussing and fretting. Coming in out of the wind."

we had a similar experience with Liam, well kind of similar...
Instead of "He is exalted the King is exalted on high" Liam started singing "he is exhausted the King is exhausted on high". We wondered if we were giving Liam the wrong impression about a life of faith, but mostly we laughed.
great story..by the way thanks for all your hard work this month...we have all been very blessed.
