We sat there for a full hour and then we heard the song, "We Wish You a Merry Christmas". We thought, that is usually the last song. Then the music teacher stood up to say his "thank you" speech. At this point, I thought to get a little indignant because, after all, we were told she would be singing a solo. Just as I was getting ready to walk down the bleachers to protest, one of her teachers ran over to the music teachers to remind him that he had forgotten about the song that the kindergartners were supposed to sing. Our daughter had stood up in protest as well. After all, she had been practicing and was very excited. She's just a little like her mother, I suppose.
She got into position, right there in the middle of the gym floor with microphone in hand. And that's when it happened...the misty eyes. She stood in front of a packed gymnasium singing the lead on, "The Angel Band" song.
One glorious Christmas morning
Ten angels did appear
And each one held an instrument
Carefully made by hand
First they counted off to ten
Playing one by one
Then they played together
In a joyful Angel Band.
Chorus:
There was one, there were two,
There were three little angels
There were four, there were five,
There were six little angels
There were seven, there were eight,
There were nine little angels
Ten little angels in the band.
Oh, wasn't that a band, Christmas morning
Christmas morning, Christmas morning,
Wasn't that a band, Christmas morning
Ten little angels in the band.
Parents, it's okay to have those proud parent moments. Your children are only little once, but they will always be your children. We are grateful for the opportunity to call ourselves - parents!
Isaiah 54:13
All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children.
