A Husband And Wife Sing-A-Long

Recently we had a breakfast for married couples at Kingsfield.  As a worship leader it was a pretty standard day for me.  Set up, hang with the wife, eat some food, lead a few worship songs, listen to the speaker, hang out and tear down.  But as we were singing one of the songs I realized something.  Normally I want to do everything I can to minimize distractions and help people block out everything and everyone around them.  But this time I was seeing something else.

As I looked across the room of 25 or so couples, I saw what an amazing privilege it is to get to worship through music with your spouse!  Personally I don’t get to do this much since I’m usually in the band or involved in some way that doesn’t allow me to be with her all the time.  I love getting to worship with her when I do get the chance.  There is something about the music that makes it easy for us to just forget everything around us and focus, but sometimes it is awesome to focus with your other half.  You can be free together.  You can sing together.  You can raise your hands or kneel or sit or pray.  But however you worship God you get to do that with the love of your life!

Take advantage of these opportunities!  When you have the chance, make it happen!  Change your volunteer schedule so you can go to church together.  Forget that you have sat in that same seat for the past forever and sit together.  Stop worrying about what others think and love God together.  Make the kids sit on the other side of you.  Whatever it is you need to do, reorganize to do it!  Make a change and spend time worshipping your Savior with one of the biggest blessings you can ever have: your spouse!

What a privilege to worship with your spouse. Take advantage of it. Make it happen. Reorganize to do it.
