Green Pastures-2

Music. If you listen in the green pastures there is a lot of music and song.

Every kind of bird has its own tune to sing. The spring-peeper frogs sing loudly together on a warm spring morning. Baby calves, goats, sheep, chicks all sing their own song because they are happy, or hungry or glad to run and play. Even the streams and waterways have a song.

We humans have a song to sing also. In our green-pastures of mind what songs do you hear playing? Tune in to the frequency of thanksgiving and happiness.

What I really hope is you won’t give up your song of peace, joy and happiness, no matter how you feel. Actually you can make yourself feel better by keeping a happy song in your heart all the time. If when, you get really quiet, there is no song playing inside, you might need to reconnect with your music. I had an aunt who was always humming quietly, no matter what she was doing, throughout her day whenever I got close to her, I could hear her humming. She was always at peace and I wanted to be just like her.

Some of us might be whistlers. My father and brothers, (even myself included) loved to whistle tunes throughout our day working inside and out. Many make music with guitars, pianos, drums, string instruments and brass.

Keep your music going. Don’t let other people quench your song. A merry heart will do you and others good. Joy is your strength and often it comes through your own song.

Can you hear the music now playing in your green-pasture? Turn it up and enjoy your day!

The Choir of Humanity

Our earth is filled with a multitude of voices, many speaking together at the same time.

Can we liken this (us) to a choir– singing in performance together, yet each having our own voice…some singing soprano, alto, tenor or bass.

Everyone singing together….and then a hush while the baritone brings forth.

A well trained choir sings together showcasing each other under the directorship of the conductor, who has studied the score and thought in advance how each voice and section can best be utilized for the good of the whole, and bring the most delight to the listeners.

If we–each individual human–starting only with ourselves, began practicing our singing to join in and bring out the best from each other… under the infinite leadership of our creator, who started this whole choir, just think what an impact we could be!!!

What might our world look like if that happened ???

…if I practiced my singing today–in the car on my way to work…practiced while I walked the dog with my friend…practiced while I thought about my family, or while on my break at work…

How would my singing, my voice, help lift another’s voice to concert pitch… in key with others in their section, and make the earth a better place.

….just some thoughts.
