POSSIBLE ACCUMULATION

1/8/11 “Possible accumulation.” Those words can bring hope to the heart of a weary school teacher. Yesterday, Cathy C. said those words were music to her ears. In the past weeks I’ve blogged about words. Words of profanity. Words of resolve. Words of gratitude and encouragement. Words of delight---those prayerful words from John Parker, age 2, that delighted my heart.
Yesterday’s Commercial Appeal had an article about “Music for Aarvarks,” a music class I attended with Owen the week after my Jan. ’09 cancer diagnosis. It was a “gleeful” experience for all. The article was entitled “Songs in the key of Glee.” That title has resonated with me ever since.
This morning I knew I needed to live in the “key of glee” and the first step would be choosing words that reflect my heart’s choice. Not careless words that reflect my natural inclinations toward impatience, ungratefulness or a critical spirit but wise words. I need to practice letting my heart exult so that the overflow allows my words to sing as I speak in the key of glee. How about you?

David knew the song---

He sang to the LORD the words of this song ………………..He said: I love you, LORD, my strength. (Psalm 18:1)

Choose wisely---words matter. A “possible accumulation” of these choices, not based on circumstances, can have us all living & “dancing” in the “key of glee” as well. (even if it doesn’t snow)
