Hubby and I were picking raspberries this last Saturday and there were two little girls a few rows over and down a little ways, and they were just singing and singing!! You know how little kids sing nonsensical made-up songs.
They were in a competition with their mom to see who could pick the most berries, so their song went: “We’re gonna win! We’re gonna win! We’re gonna win!” It was so cute!
It reminded me a lot of myself when I was a little girl … I used to sing all the time!
In fact, both my kids used to sing all the time when they were little … especially when they played Legos together!
I think God hardwired us to sing! It’s in our very nature to sing! God made us to sing!
Little kids haven’t been jaded by life. They don’t know any better … so they sing exuberantly and joyfully about anything and everything!
The two little girls in the raspberry field kept singing made-up songs the entire time hubby and I picked berries.
It was so fun to pick raspberries and listen to those cute little girls singing the whole time!
I can’t help but think God is every bit as much delighted to hear us sing to Him!
On Sunday afternoon hubby and I went blueberry picking! And would you believe that in the blueberry field there were also little kids singing!! As hubby and I were picking, two little girls and their family came walking past looking for a spot to start picking.
The two little girls exclaimed: “There’s lots and lots of berries here that we can pick!!” At which point they launched into song: “There’s lots and lots of berries here!! Lots and lots of berries! etc. …”
Once again … it was so cute!
Far across the field, you could hear other little kids singing.
God loves to hear us sing!! God hardwired us to sing!!
Don’t hold back … sing exuberantly! Sing joyfully! It’s good for you to sing!!
