Spiritual songs can help when life’s challenges come in your way.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada and I love to sing. And you know what else I love? Children that love to sing – like three-year-old Clara. Clara has down syndrome and speaks mostly through Sign Language, but when she gets in the car, she always asks for “usic” – that is, music, in other words, her Veggie Tales CD! Proverbs 22 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Well, I tell you what – the spiritual songs I learned as a kid? I still remember them! In fact, it’s those very songs that to this day continue to help me when my disability tries to get the best of me. And I just bet that when little Clara gets to be older and life’s challenges come her way, she will remember God’s “usic.” So, join me in laying a foundation for the children in your life – your son, your niece, neighbor kids – and share with them God’s ministry of music.
