Favorite part of my day...
Ok- I know I posted already but I just have to dish about bedtime tonight. So the routine with the boys is getting smoother everyday- they potty, put on their pjs and brush their teeth. By smoother i mean i dont freak out as much about the potties and bodily fluids that are evrywhere. Most of them are potty training if that gives you any idea of how bathroom time goes. We stick them in the bed or crib they belong to and hug them good night. Oh, and Kevin and I usually lead the boys in the longest version of yo tengo Gozo. We're gonna need to learn a new song soon!
Meanwhile, tonight the girls had already done the potty/pjs/teeth business and were hopping from bed to bed when I waltzed in to their room. They tend to play for a little while before lights out. Anyway- tonight the music continued and we sang all the Spanish songs I know. (minus alabare- I don't remember the verses to that one) here's the fun part- they wanted me to sing them in english. So, we'd sing Jesus loves me in Spanish, then English. Same for tengo Gozo (I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down inmy heart) he's got the whole world, Jesus loves the little children, and more!
Here's what I love about traveling and praising God all over the world- He is so much bigger than languages. We can sing praises in Spanish, English, creole, Chinese.....He hears and understands them all. Makes me feel kinda small, but at the same time so loved knowing that He delights in the songs sung by our sweet Guatemalan babies and me, that silly gringa. I can't wait to hug their necks and tell them Buenos Dias in the morning!
UPDATE: Sergio ate all his dinner tonight! He refused to sit in a chair, but sat in my lap and directed me to the frijoles and chicken soup with tortillas. He's not wanting to be put down- still prefers to be held, but is doing much better. :)

Yo tango gozo when I read these posts! I can just imagine those sweet babies singing in Spanish and English! How precious is that?! So glad to hear that your little duck is doing well!! I'm praying for you all!
ReplyDeleteSarah so excited for you! It sounds like you are really enjoying your ministry there. I can just see you with the children and certainly makes me smile. Those children are so blessed to have you singing and loving on them, just as our children here at home are blessed to have you in their lives. Did the blog thing just so I could tell you hi and let you know we are so proud of what you are doing and we miss you. Hope you days ahead are filled with a lot more favorites.
ReplyDeleteLove and prayers!
What's great about those songs is that they will forever hold a place in your heart and whenever you sing them or hear them many years from now you will remember those kiddos!
