Morning Worship

The girls and I do some type of worship together in the mornings. Before Raegan's first nap.

And while it's not always a thing where the girls' attention spans are completely captivated, the atmosphere remains one of worship. ...I figure it's not my job to make them worship, you know? Just to give them opportunity to do it. daily.

Though, here...you can tell Raegan IS completely enthralled. :)

Raegan (17 months) is definitely following in the footsteps of her bigger sisters. because she loves any and all things worship. She even yells out "Jesus!" at times. Now where she got that, I still don't know. But it's beyond adorable.

This particular morning, we were watching one of my all-time favorite worship videos: Hillsong's "Jesus you're my Superhero".

Raegan gets excited about dancing around and shouting for Jesus. Can you tell?

It just comes naturally for children to groove when music is playing. Might as well connect that, in their hearts, with worship. Because I know for me, worship is a full body thang! ;)

I love seeing the joy on her face as she watches others love on Jesus. And I know, in the depths of her spirit, that she is learning to follow that which she sees.

See? Already mimicking everything she sees them doing (raising their hands). One day, it will switch from following others' examples to personal, whole-hearted worship. It will have blossomed in her heart. naturally.

I love it.

I don't highly recommend videos often, but this has been a HUGE HUGE blessing for my girls. AND for me and Jet. Honestly, the first few times we watched it, Jet and I were so emotionally moved, we cried. Maybe it's just me? But there's something so moving about watching young adults teach young kids to truly worship Jesus.

If you're curious about HillSong's video...I saw a few clips on Youtube. Just go to their site and type in Jesus You're my Superhero. You'll get a few different songs.
