Sweet singin' Girls!

I was in my bathroom getting ready to run errands with my girls this morning listening to the "Valley of Vision" CD playing in my room. All of a sudden I heard my girls singing ~ loudly ~ so I came out into my room to see what they were doing. It was a very sweet & happy Mommy-moment when I saw all of my girls sitting on the edge of my bed facing the CD player singing their little hearts out to "Heavenly Father, Beautiful Son"! I had to get my camera out & take pictures of that sweet memory! Abby was rocking back & forth as she was singing, Ashley was holding Ava as she was singing & as Ava was playing with the plastic CD cover & Amy was reading along with the words as she was singing! So precious! I was actually surprised that they knew the words and could sing along so well. I'm always amazed at how much children retain & what seeps into their eager little hearts! I'm grateful that what came out today was about God! Here is what my sweeties were singing......

"Heavenly Father, Beautiful Son"

Father, You loved me
Sent Your Son to redeem
Jesus, You washed me
By Your blood I am clean
Spirit, You've opened these blinded eyes
And brought me to Christ

Heavenly Father, beautiful Son
Spirit of light and truth
Thank You for bringing sinners to come to You

Father, You gave me
To Jesus to keep
And Jesus, You love me
As a shepherd, his sheep
Spirit, You've given me faith in the Son
And made our hearts one

Father, You're waiting
To hear my requests
Jesus, Your loving
Open hand is outstretched
Spirit, You're in me, You intercede
And help in my need

God has been so good to give us His Son, Jesus! God has also been so good to give my Hubby & I our 4 precious little girlies! : )

(By the way, notice that our girls are all dressed in fall colors. It's been a smidge chilly here in the mornings so it's starting to feel like fall! Our girls picked out their clothes together & even Ava's cute little fall dress & they came out dressed in their coordinating fall colors! So cute! These are definitely girlies after their Mama's own heart!)

Yes, they do take after their mommy (which is a very good thing). :)

I love it when I find my kids spontaneously worshipping. Joshua even makes up his own worship songs.
