Good Observations

It was our extreme pleasure to host the grandkids over night last night.

Such fun!

We took them to church to work with us, which reminded me of a funny story.

Daughter onced picked Jonge up from his 'class' at church and was told that he seemed to have a very good time, but mostly, he played with a toy vacuum. Apparently he spent a good deal of time with that vacuum, as it really made an impression on his teacher.

And why wouldn't he?

That is what WE do when we go to church.

Some people go to worship God with Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.

We go to worship God with Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs making music in our hearts with the steady hum of a vacuum cleaner as accompaniment.

Today Jonge went to church with Pake. He loves this, because he gets to sit nestled between him and Pa.

He really likes music, and his 'birthday buddy' Laura sings with the worship team.

When he got home, he was eager to find his toy guitar so he could play it.

I was busy arranging things in Famke's life in ways that she might find pleasing, so I wasn't paying all that much attention to Jonge.

His guitar is one that I found at the thrift store. It has buttons that one can push to make one's own music, or there are buttons that will play pre-recorded songs. And, there is even a way to make it play a pre-recorded song by pushing any button what-so-ever. Apparently, that is the track it was on this morning while Jonge was playing and singing along.

Suddenly he looked up at me with a quizzical expresion on this face and said:

In my head I'm thinking it's supposed to be "Jesus Loves Me", but it sure sounds like "Old MacDonald Had a Farm".
