We listen to K-love a lot of the time in the car...that is, when I can manage to turn the kids praise music off without a fight and we aren't practicing for whatever the latest musical at church is going to be. Right now k-love has been doing a contest or something to win a trip to New York City for the Super Bowl. Every time Keira hears about it, she asks me to call so we can "win tickets to the big game". She has no idea what the "big game" even is and knows nothing about NYC but still she's obsessed.
It's moments like these that remind me that they are listening. They hear our music, they hear what we talk about, they hear what our televisions have on them...they hear what we hear.
One of my very favorite things to hear is my children singing along to Christian music in the radio. It warms my heart. Keira knows most of the words now...Libby sings or hums most too...and now, Janessa tries to join in and it is so so sweet. It has really made me realize how important it is that I always have God Glorifying things for them to hear.
I know that there are lots of times that I fail with this too...I am sure I say the wrong things or the TV (even the news) is on and they hear things they shouldn't but it is something we should all be working on. We should be filling their heads with things that are excellent or praiseworthy.
Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-- think about such things."
