Dear Lord; Happy Thursday Father! I know I tend to talk about my boys quite a bit, but following up on yesterday’s conversation I just wanted to tell you about the ride in to school this morning.
Following a posting from another blogger about listening to Christian Music (Thanks so much Jenifer!) early in the week, I did a little digging online and found that while there were no nearby stations that carry that genre, there was a local repeater transmitter that rebroadcast an appropriate station. It’s a weak signal to be sure, but it covers the area between my home and my office reasonably well, so I started listening to it on my way home last night. It was still on in the car this morning on the way to drop the kids at school, and the difference was quickly picked up on by my youngest, Aidan. I explained to him that this was a station that played songs which praised God, and he seemed pleased with that. We then spent some time discussing what they had read in their Action Bibles the night before, but other than that it was an unusually quiet ride. I pulled into the school and stopped to drop them off, and on his way out the door Aidan piped up “I like the music!” and ran inside to his class.
It’s funny sometimes what makes me smile Lord.
“Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.” – Psalm 100:1-2
Amen.

Again, you are showing your boys how to live, not just telling them. God will bless you for your faithfulness. Have a blessed day!
Thank you Lisa. I just get the warmest feeling seeing them “get it”.
Have a Blessed Day!
Klove is wonderful, so glad you were able to tap into it! Kelli and I are going to see Matthew West tonight, we are so excited!
Thank you Heidi! I hope you had a great time last night!
Have a Blessed Day!
Glad you found a station. We have access to at least 3 stations where I live so I forget what it’s like not to have it!
I am too Allison! I’ve also been listening to klove.com online during the day at Jenifer’s suggestion. Great to have some uplifting music!
Have a Blessed Day!
So wonderful that you found a station! Your boys are so awesome and I love reading about them. It is so incredible when our kids ‘get it’ as you commented. Blessings!
Thank you Jenifer! I’ve really been enjoying klove.com during the day as well. What a great station! And thank you for the kind words about the kids. It’s fascinating that the things we as adults tend to struggle with, the children just seem to understand.
Have a Blessed Day!
What an awesome thing to share with your boys. Talking about radio, Christian themes, or what they read in a Bible…its so great. I think that’s what teaches our kids the difference between just plain old religion and a vibrant relationship. Have a great day!
Thank you Kelli. I really want them to have a joyous relationship with Him, not just spit back what they’re spoon-fed. I love seeing the interest and excitement when they talk to me about God.
Have a Blessed Day!
