Come; let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. Psalm 95
Music has always been part of my life. Pity my fourth grade teacher, who had to listen as our entire class learned to read music while blowing enthusiastically on our plastic recorders. My deep gratitude and admiration goes to countless saintly music teachers and directors who stood bravely in front of squirmy, energetic children and valiantly encouraged us to work as a group – listen to each other! Together you can make beautiful sounds!
I did it all – junior choir at church, elementary mixed chorus, band (I played the flute!), girl’s glee club, and then on to high school marching band, select chorus, musical theater. I have known the thrill of singing with a powerful chorus of over 100 voices and the joy of having my voice weave and flow with one or two others.
Music – it comes in so many forms and variations. And it brings me great joy.
I give thanks for music. Here is one of my favorite Thanksgiving hymns.
What are you thankful for today?

As I prepare to sing in worship on Sunday morning with a group of three other women, your post reminds me why I do this. We were once a choir of twelve, and even though so many have fallen away, to contribute as best I can to worship music is still of the greatest importance to me.
