Sing a Song

What a beautiful Sacrament meeting today. First of all, I was so irritated with my children that I was dreading sacrament meeting in the first place and I am still super tired. I am still trying to figure out my cycle and getting used to being in control of my body instead of my emotions controlling me. I still need a few more months to figure it out. anyway. Sacrament meeting started and the row in front of us was our entertainment. Their daughter dropped the bread tray all over the floor and their sun kicked the water tray. All I could do was laugh because they were laughing and it gave me perspective that yes this is a sacred ordinance, but life happens, kids happen. Ahhh, I took a big deep breath after the show and was filling better and could manage my children. The bishop got up and announced that our meeting would be a musical meeting and I lit up. I love these!! The first hymn was. It was a quartet of violinist of young women of different ages. It was squeaky, off, but beautiful. The words bring in the spirit not the squeaky violins. Next was an organist performing "Joseph's First Prayer". Amazing!! There was a speaker who spoke about singing and being active in singing. Lastly the speaker asked for an impromptu choir to come up and sing "I know that my Redeemer lives". It wasn't the best, but all I could picture these members dressed in white and really singing to the savior and testifying of him. Beautiful. The closing hymn was "how firm a foundation" and Mason knows this song. The whole primary knows this song and I was touched, again, by their small voices mixed in with the grown-ups. I needed today. My  gratitude to my Heavenly Father for blessing me this day. My family is thankful too. Mom is no longer grumpy.
