Music soothes the soul!


Where would we be without music? It comforts us, strengthens us and makes us feel good whether we are having a good day or a bad day. Jesus has given me that same comfort as I learn how to deal with my limitations.I have to say I've had to laugh a lot at myself...
They so caringly placed a piano bench in front of the key board for me to sit on while I play for the Worship Service. It is now time to get back up and sing the closing song. Now our Pastor who has way more energy than most healthy people bounds up to the front of the stage so we hurry as much as possible so that we can at least catch him on the last verse...(great guy I love him) anyway I am helped over to my spot by my loving sister who also needs to make her way to her spot and strap her instrument to her body so...in haste leaves me I grab for the piano bench. Don't get ahead of me...Okay yes the next thing I know is that bench and me become one, legs floundering and all I can think of is why did I ware a skirt? Ya, God sure does like to keep me humble. so now our Pastor calls me up a couple of weeks ago and says lets just keep it simple this week because we are going to be down in numbers, so we decide there will just be three of us on stage and we'll all sit on stools. Now something you need to know it has been over a year since my last humiliation and I've come a long way since then, or so "I" think. Oh so proud sitting up on that stool... like a grown-up! Pastor on one side of me and another gentlemen on the other. Mic in my left hand turning pages with my right when I don't know what happened but here we go again as I proceed to turn the page I just couldn't stop and over I went. This time All I could think about was thank you Lord!! at least this time you prepared me I'm waring pant's. The next time their going to Velcro my but to the seat... If there is a next time.
