Primary Songs
Ryan has had a pretty nasty stomach ache off and on for the last couple of days. He hasn't really been throwing up and I've felt like there has been little I could do for him. Last night he woke numerous times crying and rolling around the bed. Each time he only calmed down as I cradled him and sang primary songs to him. He fell asleep laying in my lap as I sang about how he is loved by his family and the Savior. I'm not quite sure about him, but rarely have I felt so peaceful as I've taken care of a sick child at 2 am. One time as I held him I reflected on the RS spotlight that I filled out a couple of weeks ago that asked about a goal or dream of mine. I wrote that I would love to sing in a band, a choir or something like that. I filled out the questionnaire the same day that I sang in church with the choir and had someone comment about my hidden talent. So...after thinking about how I can use my talents and not knowing exactly what I should be doing, last night was a very sweet reminder that there are many different ways in which I can use my talents and just because I haven't tried out for the Mo-Tab doesn't mean I don't appreciate or use what I have been given. Tender mercies.

So true! You never know where or when it'll be, but those talents come out all the time!
And I don't think I've heard it myself, but through the grapevine I've heard you have a great singing voice!
You do have a great singing voice! AND I love that you sang to him to calm him down. Mace has been sick all week too. Do you think our sons play together? Hmmmm I wonder.
I love those tender moments as a mother.
Sunny, I have had many moments like that. Despite still having that urge to perform sometimes, there is no better audience than my loving children who don't even notice that I can't quite hit those high notes anymore like I used to :)
I think it's also part of the "times and seasons thing". These kids need those talents of ours more than anyone else needs them at this important time of their lives. I love that it calmed him down. Music has such great power.
