Forget Liver & Lima Beans!

I had to go out on one errand yesterday -- hadn't been out in awhile as it's difficult to drive with a bum leg. The exit I had to take was where some of my favorite restaurants are: Zaxby's, Fat Buddies BBQ(!), Wendy's ... I looked straight ahead and started singing a crazy version of LIVER & LIMA BEANS to crazy made--up tunes.

It hit me as I'm driving along to stop that ridiculous song -- it wasn't a chart-topper, believe me.

Instead I turned on my C.D. player and one of my favorite songs I used to sing with the SONday Praise Worship Team was on. I drove down the road singing "How Great!" at the top of my lungs.  A few songs after that was "Jesus, You're All I Need". I loved having that time of worship and remembrance in the car.


Music has always been an integral part of my life; so much so I make up songs dealing with daily living -- such as my "Liver and Lima Beans" song. I admit it: I have songs for Sarah. There's her "Good Morning" song ... her "I Love My Little Miss Wiggle Butt" song ... "Time to Pee Pee & Poo Poo" song ...

I really don't think Brad Paisley or Carrie Underwood will be calling me anytime soon.

With that said, I also have my daily favorites that exist beyond my personal repertoire such as:
How Great Is Our God
Great Is Thy Faithfulness
I Love You, Lord
Ancient Words
and many more.

While I really enjoy all genres of music, the only one that really feeds my soul is any song that worships God. It picks me up to sing songs of adoration. And there's not a better feeling.

SO -- liver and lima beans are helpful in this full liquid diet journey but worshiping God is awe-inspiring.

I think I'll keep on singing ...


Enjoying the Journey,
Debra
