One of my most favorite blessings I think the LORD has given us is music. What a way to see how much He loves us and what a way for us to express our love for Him! Ever since I can remember I have loved singing, at the top of my lungs sometimes. Nothing gets me cranked up better in the morning than to put on my worship music and sing. (My husband bought me an iPod with the speaker system dock which I have placed in the kitchen). As I prepare my breakfast and before I read my bible and fellowship with the LORD I gotta' put my music on. Then it's just Him and me. Really quite lovely.
In December, I watched a special about Ruth Bell Graham and ordered the DVD on her life. It's sort of a documentary with clips of her in conversation with interviewers, her husband, and her children and friends. I have come to admire this woman greatly and my plan is to end up as wonderful a servant as she was, although I have a long, long way to go. (Well at least, it's something to aim for.) In any event, on the DVD is Fernando Ortega singing, Give Me Jesus, apparently a favorite of Ruth's and now one of mine. I bought the CD of Ortega's with that song and play it every morning on my iPod. But that particular song is at the end of the CD and there are 10 other great songs preceding it. The very first song is the one I hear initially every day now and I think it is a great way to start your day so I am attaching it for your to hear. It's titled, This Good Day, and makes me just want to get up, dance, and PRAISE God! Enjoy!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK6D31c7oL8
Another aside: Fernando Ortega often tours with Ruth's daughter, Anne Graham Lott.

Ah! So true mom! Music is a great way to be blessed and to bless others. This week I actually got to sit in church and it was so nice to be able to worship with everyone! God is so good! Have a great day! -debi
