Tylenol and the joy of laser printing
I had a really good day today. I had my first piano lesson with my new student and my first voice lesson with one of my neighbor's children. My neighbor's child comes to Pro-teens on Thursday night at my church. That is a blessing. I have never done voice lessons before, but I am confident I can give him a starting point in music and voice with which to continue if he wishes.
Also, another blessing, I got a laser printer (and there was much rejoicing, yea!). My dad was able to get one--for free. The joy of laser printing is how well music turns out. It looks perfect.
Last night, I learned that I cannot take Tylenol after I have taken my medicine. I am just glad I learned that lesson before driving and doing that!
I am looking forward to the Lord's Day. Last week the young people sang. I was very excited. I practice with them on Sunday nights before church. I suggest songs, but generally they choose them. Our main pianist (I play piano Sunday mornings, but most of the time I play the rickety organ--Lord help me to be thankful for it and not complain--any of you know of one we can have?) brought music for us to try, and it is so beautiful! It has the words to 1 Corinthians 13 (though they have been arranged with some liberty, not quoted) and the music is an American Folk song. It is song 109 in The Wilds book, and Psalm 42 or When I Survey the Wondrous Cross may be sung to it. If that gives you any hint. Anyway, the young people love it, and we are looking forward to singing it. We are also going to practice an arrangement of Revive Us Again for our Revival coming up at the end of February. Only a week left for that preparation. I hope I can find that book! I have been shuffling all my music around in an attempt to discover a system. No luck yet. I haven't given up yet though.
Anyway, I want to say, if I know you, I am praying for you. Well, in fact I am praying for the Body, so even if I don't know you I am praying for you. God bless you and keep you. Grace and peace in abundance be yours by God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
