Sunday Service

I have to tell you about my special granddaughter and her involvement with church. I tell myself not to be bias but today I couldn't help myself.  Since Harper goes to church every Sunday she understands that when she walks into the gym/auditorium that church service is there.  She knows that there will be music, so lots of times when she walks in she stops and claps and bounces in place.  When she was younger people thought that we were bouncing her but this is something she does all by herself.  I laugh and tell people she is our Pentecostal child.  Today was no exception, she claps and sways back and forth, she tries to sing, but what you don't know is that she really pays attention to what is going on at the front. We were singing Lion of Judah and there was a lion on the big screen and she started to growl, when it changes songs she lifted her hands like where is the lion.  We started to sing Alleluia, Holy is the Lord without saying a thing Joey and I looked and she had both of her hands in the air as if she knew what we were singing and she was participating in worship. I thought as I cried that she naturally knows who is holy and what music worship is all about.I believe it was one of the most precious moments I have ever experienced in church or out. When the song was over she yelled yeah!!! and clapped.I told Joey today that before she was born I felt very impressed by the Lord that she was going to do special things, I honestly thought she was going to be a Downs syndrome baby, I never told anyone because honestly it scared me to death, they are such special people. But now I honestly know that God was telling me she is gong to be a Godly girl who is going to reach a lot of people.  She has never met a stranger, she has more energy that you can imagine, she is very observant to things and her surroundings, she is very determined and strong willed, she loves hand-capped people and takes alot of notice in them. I truly believe that God has big and great plans for her, now we just have love her and help her grow.
