liam and susanna sing together in our church's All Angels choir, which is comprised of four-year olds and kindergartners who rehearse each wednesday night and have the privilege of singing in "big church" three or four times a year. their first performance was this morning in honor of All Saints Day.
from where i was sitting, it's hard to see susanna (you might make her out on the far left with a periwinkle hairbow). but liam is in the third row, smack dab in the middle. he takes this job quite seriously and masters the words and belts out the tune.
the choir director did ask me very kindly if i could encourage him to turn down his volume a bit. when i brought it up, he told me, "i need to sing loudly so that even people in the back row can hear!" to which i responded, "well, yes, honey -- but remember that there are 35 other children helping you out."
i'm not quite sure the message sunk in; if you close your eyes and listen, the one voice trumping all others is our son -- who really can't carry a tune in a bucket. still, to me there's nothing sweeter than a chorus of children's voices praising God, even if they're a bit out of tune. enjoy!
