Music

Music was a big part of my life for about 20 years. I took all kinds of instruments lessons. I played in several different bands at school and was in choir. My best friends growing up were band geeks, though in a school as small as ours, many of them were also all-star athletes. I’m not sure I could tell/describe high school or college without some kind of music being involved.

As time went on I pursued other interests and music took a back burner. I would still sing or play on occasion, but nothing like before. And eventually music wasn’t something I did any more. I would listen to the radio and sing on Sundays, but that was about it.

This year a friend of mine invited me to the theater and to symphony on several occasions. As I was sitting there I realized how much I missed it. I missed performing, but I also missed attending events.

Tonight I attended another symphony event and it was amazing. I decided while sitting there that in 2020 I want to go to more events and maybe participate again in making music. It’s a love and a gift that the Lord gave me that I’ve forgotten about. It’s something I haven’t allowed myself to enjoy in far too long.

I know we are celebrating Christmas in two days and the time for end of the year reflect comes after that, but I’m starting to wonder what else I’ve forgotten? What other things have I put away that God might be calling me to take back out? It’s something for me to think about and something for you too.

I’ll leave you with another Christmas song this Sunday. It doesn’t tie in with todays blog itself, but the spirit of the Christmas season. Consider it my prayer for you this Christmas.

To Everything There Is A Season…
