A Global Hallelujah

Friday night we went to FBC Roger's Global Impact Celebration service. All this to say that last week was their global missions emphasis week. They had the Children of the World choir perform on Friday night. They are orphans from Uganda and Nepal - and the show is lively with drums, dancing, and big smiles!
Eli LOVED it! He recognized the lion on stage and the clouds in the powerpoint. So funny what he notices! But, he does a great job sitting still and engaging! I am so glad we keep our kids in church services. It really shows how he already knows how to interact in large groups.
Anyhow - I really enjoyed the choir's first song - A Global Hallelujah. It is so true - regardless of denomination, language, skin color, education, income, clothes, geographic location, [fill in the blank here with any other demographic]...the Lord recognizes our praises as one!
One of my favorite Bible verses talks about how the rocks cry out if his people don't praise him. It is sobering to realize that the purpose of all creation is to praise Jesus. So often we, who were created in His image, fail to even take a few minutes a day to praise Him...much less praise Him with every breath.
Ok, I just wanted to comment on the impact of the Global Hallelujah song.
Have a great day!
