January 22

I  always enjoy Sundays.  It is a time I look forward to... replenishing my spirit with Christ through the Eucharist.  I was grateful for the messages given today not only in the Word, but through song.  My favorite song was the psalm today, which I sing regularly as prayer...To You O God I Lift Up My Soul.  I remember singing it even when the kids were little.  They would behave after I'd sing the song because they knew I was at wits end, and they dare not cross God!  Anyway, we also sang The Servant Song.  The lyrics are great to meditate on...What do you want of me, Lord? Where do you want me to serve you? Where can I sing your praises? I am your song.  I hear you call my name, Lord.  And I am moved within me. Your Spirit stirs my deepest self.  Sing your songs in me.  Then we also sang Give Me Ears to Listen.  This is a prayer I usually sing on my way to work.  It always intrigues me that just by singing prayers in the morning how much better my day goes.  It's easy to have a great day when your focus is on the Lord. :)
