Sweet gift of song…

I was relaxing on the playroom sofa engrossed in the novel by Ree Drummond with the grandchildren playing happily all around me. I noticed movement to my left barely above the back of the sofa. It was Larry-Boy, the Veggie Tale puppet. Suddenly, “Larry-Boy” broke into the happy song “Veggie Tales”. The sweet and tender voice of my just-turned-three-year-old grandson was perfectly carrying the tune.

My heart melted, and tears came to my eyes, as I thought about what a gift this sweet child is…and how different his life might have been. I’m thankful beyond words that God picked this precious child to be a part of this family…all the way from Ethiopia.

And I’m especially thankful for his sweet gift of song…

Note: for the “re-enactment”, it is “Bob the Tomato” playing the lead role. My little grandson believes in giving all of the actors a turn at their five minutes of fame.

He loves Curious George! (age 3 & 1/2 here)

If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time at all, then you know that I dearly love my grandchildren. I found this little post gem while browsing through my previous blog of four years, My Southern Heart. My little charmer is five & a half now but just as loving and entertaining as ever…
