"Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; make music to our God on the harp." -- Psalm 147:7

These days it seems that harp players are in short supply.  Nonetheless, music continues to thrive as the key mood-setter to any gathering or event one attends.  If you've been to a sporting event lately, you've likely heard up-beat, thumping music that awakens your senses and charges you up.  If you've been to a wedding or funeral, the music in the service might be more reflective.  If you've been to a party with dancing, that's a whole different beat altogether.  Point is, music is a gift from God which we are instructed to use in our giving thanks to God.  So even if you don't have a harp, play something... even if it's the radio.  Make it up-lifting and positive so it reflects the tone of thanksgiving and gladness... perhaps you can even make it a fandango ;-)

Readings:  Zechariah 12:1-13:9; Revelation 19:1-21; Psalm 147:1-20; Proverbs 31:1-7
