A Hymn A Day
Waking up at 7:00 this morning, I didn't quite know how today would turn out. It didn't feel good, but it didn't feel all that bad either. However, by the end of my first class, I could tell that this was going to be a great day.
My first class is Aural Skills (ear training) II at 8:00...in the morning. We do different things, like listening to music, and even some singing. My professor Dr. Joby Bell, who's my cousin by the way, handed out a slip of paper. On it was a hymn. Were we really going to sing a hymn?
Yes. We were, and we did. At first, we all sung the melody, but soon we added all the parts. It sounded like a regular choir. The last thing we did, was switch from singing just the numbers of the pitches, to the actual words. Everyone in that room could immediately feel a difference. We all walked away that morning uplifted.
Sure enough, my day turned out to be great! All my classes were good, and went by fast. I got to see and talk to my lovely several times today. I've just felt good all day long, and I strongly believe it had something to do with singing that hymn this morning.
I go to sleep tonight with a renewed sense of hope, and an increased faith. I know it's not possible for everyone to start the day with a hymn, but it sure helped me.
May God keep you this and every night.
