Mara’s Musical Preferences . . .

We were listening to Sovereign Grace’s Come Weary Saints, which Mara calls Umbrella Music because there is an umbrella on the front of the CD cover.  (She will say, “I want to listen to Umbrella Music.”)

As a new song began, a look of delight came across her face. “[Gasp] It’s a big girl singing!”

Then she wrinkled her nose. “Sometimes I don’t like mans singing.”

“Why?” I asked.

“Because I like ladies,” she said.

At night we prayed as always. She usually wants to pray about everything we did that day. For me, it is an opportunity to learn what was most exciting to her in her day and an opportunity to teach her to thank God for all the good things with which He blesses us.

Tonight she said, “P’ay about Umbrella Music! P’ay about American Flag Music!” [We listened to some patriotic music together, with 4th of July coming up.] Then she added, “P’ay about Plastic Music!”

“Plastic music?” I repeated.

“Yes, plastical music!”

Ahh, classical music! We will thank God for the Classical Music too!
