What makes my soul sing?

When I hear the still small voice of my Savior, when I pray and he answers, when I find his mini blessings along the way to let me know he cares for me even in the little details, when he gives me a huge blessing and I’m overwhelmed with his love for me, when I remember all that he has done for me including shedding his blood, when I worship him and surrender my all to him ~ my soul sings.

When my husband smiles at me, when we laugh together, when he blushes, when he touches me or looks at me a certain way, when he does something that totally surprises me, when he plays with our kids, when he’s teaching our kids something new, when he shares things he’s excited about, when he does something generous for someone especially when he really doesn’t know them, when he kisses me ~ my soul sings.

When I feel the baby move in my belly, when my baby is first put into my arms after a long nine months and intense labor, when he nurses and looks up at me content to just be with me, when she wraps her tiny hand around my finger, when all the firsts come along, when my child gives me a hug and says I love you, when he gives me a little gift for no reason other than he thought about me, when she snuggles close even as a teen ~ my soul sings.

When I’m out exploring new places, when I’m on the top of a mountain looking across a beautiful valley, when I gaze out over the ocean, when I’m jet skiing on a lake, when a bird sings, when a deer stops and gazes at me a few feet away, when my dog is extremely excited to see me even when he saw me less than five minutes ago, when the flowers bloom, when the storms rage ~ my soul sings.

When I’m dancing to my favorite music, when I’m creating something new with my hands, when I’m in the zone and the words flow fast and furious, when I’m listening to music and it resonates with my heart, when I capture the perfect photographic moment with my camera, when I’m spending time with family, when I’m allowing myself to really enjoy what life has to offer ~ my soul sings.
