This little guy right here melts my heart. Pretty much every week I lead worship and play guitar at our home church here in Dublin, Open Arms Church. And nearly every week Matthew drags his mom up to the front row while we sing. A few weeks ago, he showed up so excited to show me his new guitar! Stood in the front row strumming along with the band.
This past week I found out that he even does little things like pretends to pull his imaginary pick out from the imaginary pick holder on the imaginary mic stand…just like I do! (except mine are real…most of the time). I was so moved and intimidated! I decided to pull out an extra mic stand the mic for him to use as he worshipped alongside us. I think he enjoyed it!
There are so many things to be said and enjoyed about this little guy. He’s absolutely brilliant, motivating, innocent, sweet, and excited! I’ll leave you with this thought. We never know who’s watching us. The little habits we allow, the faces we make, the attitudes we carry…people are watching. Sometimes young, impressionable people.
Lord, help me to be a worthy example to Matthew. Help me to glorify you and point him to you.
