I'm so happy!!
I finally got to do something I've been wanting to do for years!
For some reason this morning, when my alarm went off - I turned it off instead of hitting snooze button a gazillion times like I usually do. As a result, I got up ...a little later than I expected. And oddly, my kids slept in too. Which is okay, because usually they get up way too early anyway - but now it was definitely time to get up and they were all still asleep.
So...
I threw open the doors to their rooms, turned on their lights and started loudly singing:
Rise and Shine
And give God the glory glory!
Rise and Shine
And give God the glory glory!
Rise!
And!
Shine!
And!
Give God the glory glory!
Children... time to get up!
I was so happy!! My kids were all "daaaaaad... zzzzzzz".
I've been wanting to loudly sing them awake with that for years!
