I have just realized I really need to be singing to my children much more than I have been.
Songs such as Jesus Loves Me, and God Loves All The Children of the World, are my usual ones I sing to them.
But I really feel that I should be speaking the word of God to them more, so I thought what could be a better way than singing it!!
I can make up my own little songs from the Word. So now not only will they have a cheery momma going around the house singing, but they will also be hearing the Word of God at the same time.
How awesome is that!!
I have decided to start with their Bible verses I have chosen for them to learn this week.
So the last couple days I have been singing......
"....the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows."
Matthew10:30&31
Also this will be a good one to sing.
"My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is thy keeper...."
Psalm 121:2-4
I am so excited about doing this is my home!!
There is so many wonderful verses and passages that can be sung.
And if I can do it, any momma can!!
Cause here is a confession, I can not sing very good at all. I can not carry a tune even if my life depended on it!!
But that is ok, we are to make a joyful noise unto the Lord!!
And that's what I attend to do, along with speaking or I should say singing the Word into my children.
Something I have already been doing with the children for the last couple of years is singing each one a personal version of Jesus Loves Me as I tuck them in bed at night and pray with each of them.
It goes like this.....
"Jesus loves you ( child's name), this I know, for the Bible tells me so, little ones to him belong, for they are weak but he is strong. Yes, Jesus loves you dear ( child's name), and your momma does too!!"
Sometimes I will change that up a bit and add more words and so on. I try to make it different and fun for them.
Sometimes I do something like this....
"Jesus loves you ( name), yes, Jesus loves you my big helper ( name). Jesus thinks your so special and momma does too!!"
or this....
"God loves all the children all of the world, red and yellow, black and white, they are all so precious in His sight. Yes, God loves all the children of the world, red and yellow black and white, Nathan, Clayton, Samuel, Sarah, Anna, and Benjamin too, they are all so precious in His sight!!"
Now with the bed time songs and the day time Bible verse singing this house ought to be really rocking!!!
May your home be filled with the beautiful sound of the words of God too!!
In Him,
Mae
