A Child’s Anthem

It has been a long two weeks. Things had been very, very busy. I have felt the weight of things on my shoulders. Finally, just today, I was able to spend the entire day alone with my little boy. We played silly games, we painted, we played catch, we did a thousand little things that only exist within the life of a child for a very short time. Towards evening I heard Andrew singing as he wandered through the house. It was a beautifully simple little anthem . . . “La, la, la, la. . . I’m so happy. La, la, la, la. . . I’m so happy. ” Over and over again he sang this precious little hymn and it brought joy to my soul.
