FFF: Enoch can sing!

Enoch just started singing this week!!  {Hugh remembers him doing this a little bit a few weeks back, but this is the first time where he is consistently singing.)

I cannot put into words how much I love to hear my sweet little man singing along with us!!  My heart is overflowing, especially because the only songs he knows right now are such rich hymns: Amazing Grace; Holy, Holy, Holy; Rock of Ages; and O Great God (not an old hymn but still rich in meaning).  It is so precious and sweet to me that the first songs out of his mouth were praise to our great God, who is so worthy of praise.  And it is exciting that whenever he starts singing randomly (which has also now happened), the whole family can enjoy joining in with him, and then great truths are on our minds and tongues.   :)

I hope you enjoy this rendition of Amazing Grace as much as I did.  (The first half is black b/c I wasn't sure if Enoch would continue to sing if he knew I was recording it.  During the last half you can see him though.)


Another thing this most recent development has done is to reinforce the fact that children truly are sponges - soaking up every word out of our mouths, especially those words which we often repeat.  Lord, help me to say good, intentional words that can build my children up and point them to Jesus!   

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.  And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. 

(Colossians 3:16-17)

Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

(Ephesians 4:29)
