Sing, Mothers! Sing!

My favorite quote from Sarah Plain and Tall: Of their prospective step-mother Caleb asks, "Does she sing?" The reply, "Tell Caleb I sing." Singing. Do we recognize this as an essential part of mothering? Caleb didn't ask, "Does she sing WELL?" Only, "Does she sing?" Sing to your children mothers, even during pregnancy, no matter if you are talented or not. With practice you will see improvement, but regardless, to your babes you will sound like an angel.

They say its darkest before the dawn
I know that Jesus will lighten this darkness

By His light,
His marvelous light
He’ll guide my way to a brand new day,
a brand new day

The Light of the World is His name,
The powers of darkness He overcame
It was His plan to overcome
all the evil that had been done


Christ was tried, truly tried,
before he died we’re told he cried,
O, my Father, if it can be
let this cup pass from me
But not my will, no not my will,
not my will,
but Thine be done,
Thy will be done

The Light of the World is His name,
The powers of darkness He overcame
Through obedience He overcame
By His grace I’ll do the same
I’ll do the same

By His light,
His marvelous light
He’ll guide my way to a brand new day
a brand new day
