See if you know any of the ones I chose and share your own favorites in the comments below. Choosing just fifteen awesome Christian songs for kids was a challenge because there are so many good ones out there. It has been my honor to be the music director for several VBS events and I both taught and learned songs with the children. We sang these Christian songs in school, on the playground, at home and at special events like Vacation Bible School or day camp. There are many Christian songs for kids that I learned as a child. Not only that, it is a good way to get exercise too. Thank you for those that remember that your relationships mean everything to me.Singing with children is one of the best ways for them to be motivated to learn. I’m Fine, Yeah I’m Fine, Oh, I’m Fine, Hey I’m Fine… So, when someone asks if I am ok….this song rolls through my head…in a lovely sarcastic tone…. I have tried to be patient and understanding, but I am the one that lost my daughter. Interestingly, I am finding myself willing to walk away from friends that seem overwhelmed by my situation. I have never found people or friends worth much effort. This is new for me, as I like to just walk away and start over. The best I can describe, is what I find worth fighting for, I make the effort to confront, communicate and fix. I am not sure where it comes from to be honest. Now, sometimes my bluntness and directness almost scares me. I use to be a ignore it, don’t confront it, sweep it under the rug person. Something isn’t right, I am going to say it and move on. I have learned the art of direct communication, like nobodies business. When being honest is the only way to fix it I don’t know why it’s so hard to admit it You want to know whats going through my head? Its…….and I unleash a grabbled bunch of words that may or may not make sense.Īnd when it’s out of control I say it’s under control When I sit silently on the phone I get a “whats going through you head” or “I wish I knew what to say to you.” These are authentic phrases that I will respond to. I am lucky to have a few people in my life, that when they ask, they are asking because they already know I am not fine. But I also know the inquirer really does not want to know the real answer. When I am asked ‘how are you’…I do not answer anymore, because I won’t lie and say I am fine. Suddenly, what was important the day ‘before’ is meaningless now. What would happen in a conversation, when asked how are you, you told the truth? I smile as I type this, because my truth filter is pretty thin, and I have weeded out many people in my life with it. These lyrics I am sure hit home for anyone, but me….my family…”We keep our messes and our wounds and our secrets safe with us behind closed doors.” Apparently, we are not the only ones. Matthew West can put words down and strike a point…for me, leaves me inspired. I stumbled on this live version of the song, on YouTube. So keep your messes and your wounds and your secrets safe with you behind closed doors Lie number two: Everybody’s life is perfect except yours Lie number one: You’re supposed to have it all togetherĪnd when they ask how you’re doing, just smile and tell them, “Never better”
