Season of Singing

Temp +7, dry, bright

Yesterday was the first day of spring! It was the equinox. It never fails to disappoint. For the next 6 months Light will triumph over Darkness. Even if it is not warm it will be Light!!

This was the verse on my little calender yesterday.

See! The winter is past the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come... (Song of Songs 2:11-12)

Well the part about the rains over may not be true, but it was yesterday. And this week has been full of singing. Naomi is now singing both English and Norwegian songs interchangeably. How is it children love music so much? She was singing Ride Ride Ranke to the tune of Alle Fugler ending up with Twinkle Star the other day.

The other singing is in practice for tonight when Ben and some friends are leading worship for a new Prison ministry starting here. I think the plan is to start Alpha in the prison here. So Ben is leading the team in Norwegian praise songs. It's very exciting!

The other bit of praise, Lilja is learning how to clap (8 mo). You just forget what a fun thing that is, and the look of delight on her face when she sees you seeing her doing it. She wobbles her little body so much she falls over..
