A Beautiful Symphony

By Pat

I've always known God is a music lover. If not, He wouldn't have endowed certain people with beautiful voices, or the ability to play a musical instrument or compose. When you add those talents together, you have a symphony orchestra. If used separately, a concert pianist. But any way you look at it, what a wonderful sound it is to hear lovely music, and how God must enjoy listening!

I have envisioned God listening to a stirring classical piece...sitting back, eyes closed, just relaxing, much as I do. But recently, I was struck by a sound that made me realize I could be wrong. I was kneeling at my little granddaughter's bed one night not long ago, helping her with her prayers, and as she repeated my words (and even remembered to add a person I didn't remind her about), I knew without a doubt that THIS was God's favorite music. Hearing His little ones stumble their way though a bedtime prayer, learning to end their day with thanks, must make God smile beautifully. And since we are all God's "little ones," I believe with all my heart that the sounds of our voices lifted to Him in prayer are, indeed, a beautiful symphony.
