"Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms." James 5:13
I told him the truth this morning, while he was suffering through emptying the dishwasher.
"If you are suffering, you should pray. If you are cheerful, you should sing psalms."
He gave me his stern look. I smiled big back, threw my dishcloth in the sink and ran over to the CD player.
The girls stopped their drawing, gazed at me with anticipation.
I sorted through those CDs, found the one, and loaded the player.
The girls jumped up, met me on the green rug.
We forwarded songs right through to #6 God Girl.
There is nothing like watching three beautiful brown girls dancing to #6 God Girl, and glimpsing a suffering pink boy's frown turn to a smile.
