This week, I have been involved in a music camp of a different sort. The participants are a little older than last week’s, and the content is certainly more challenging in many ways.
It’s the annual elementary-age music camp, and this year they’re doing Joseph: A STOMP Musical. And as I’ve gone through this week, I’ve seen several reasons for me to be grateful.
- I’m grateful for the director…who’s done this a few times before, therefore making my role much easier. It’s nice not to be the one in charge for a change!
- I’m grateful for the children who have showed up – nearly 50 of them! Ranging in age from just-finished-kindergarten to entering-middle-school, all of them are learning valuable Biblical truths in a fun and entertaining way.
- I’m grateful for the ministry of Studio 153 and Abigail Doust.
- I’m grateful for the life and legacy of Joseph…a man of integrity who lived full-out in obedience and faith.
- I’m grateful for the messages of forgiveness, of resisting temptation, of standing for what’s right that my children are learning through music.
- And I’m grateful that I get to be a small part of all of it.
