A Fun Recital

     Tonight we had the Christmas recital for the school kids who share our apartment.  Donna (the teacher and our close friend) asked us to sing in the recital. I get really nervous singing in front of people, but here, I have never had the option not to sing in front of people:)  It has been really good for me (We are also part of the worship team at the international church).  We ended up singing "Down to the River to Pray" and "Sweet Little Jesus Boy" acapella.  I had to have some major self control to keep from shedding tears during "Sweet Little Jesus Boy", it is such a great song. "Down to the River to Pray" was a song that all of us sung one night when we were washing dishes at Donna's and thats how it became part of the Christmas recital.   The kids did vocal and instrumental solos as well as a dance routine.  They were super cute and very excited.  My life would not be the same here without there little faces and high energy.  The whole recital was a success and a blessing to see.  After the recital, we walked outside into a winter wonderland.  It was a great night!

I will praise the LORD according to His righteousness,
         And will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.-Psalm 7:17
