When I was a child I loved primary (Sunday school classes for children). I fell in love with the primary hymns. Part of that was due to my mother. She would play the piano for me on Sundays and I would sing my favorite primary hymns over and over again. I was always singing and most of the time it was one of these hymns. My testimony began with the simple words of these songs. They give me peace and bring me comfort. Maybe that's why I love them so much.
I still sing all the time. I think I have rubbed off on Audrey. There are few moments during the day when she's not singing.
Today she didn't want to take a nap. She climbed up in my lap and laid her head against my chest and I started to sing to her. I sang her all of my favorites. One of them is: "My Heavenly Father Loves Me" (found here: https://www.lds.org/music/library/childrens-songbook/my-heavenly-father-loves-me?lang=eng) It was the first time I have ever sang it to her. She kept asking me to sing it again. Before the last time I sang it she fell asleep in my lap. It was one of those moments that I never wanted to end. I love her.
I had to wipe the tears from my
eyes. Heavenly Father has given me so much.
Here she is singing.

She definitely takes after her mother. She will grow up to be a great singer.
