I Sing Because I'm Happy

We were at the Parma church in the morning yesterday doing a sound check and practicing when we realized we didn't have a song planned for the offering time.  Since the Parma church just started meeting together in September, it is still a small congregation and there aren't many people in that group who would feel comfortable sharing a special song. So, whoever is on the schedule to share at the Jackson site usually agrees to also attend the Parma service.  But, yesterday, the people on the schedule for Jackson couldn't make it out to the Parma service due to scheduling conflicts that morning.

That made Brad and I and our keyboard player, Dave, need to decide on something quickly.  We took a look at songs we already had chord charts and lyrics for and something that would be pretty easy to pull off "on the fly" (that's funny to me....you'll see)....so, we decided on an old-school tune, His Eye Is On the Sparrow.  I always like that song...especially the way it was sung in Sister Act II.

So, that went well and we loaded up the whole family and darted to the Jackson church in time to walk in as the family from Jackson was getting ready to practice the "special" at that location.  I saw Dave as I was walking up to the front of the church, he had already been there for a few minutes ahead of us and he said, "You are going to FREAK OUT!" The family that was singing the "special" chose His Eye Is On The Sparrow...hahaha!  That was GREAT!  I always love God's sense of humor....it's not even like we sing that song in a whole year's time....crazy!  So, I was laughing and thinking, "Boy, God, you really wanted people to get this message today."

Ever think things are for others and not yourself?  YEP!  Then, I realized I was among only a handful of people who would even know that happened.....so, maybe GOD wanted ME to get that message since He planned for me to hear it twice! :)
