I Will Sing You A Lullaby
Our little one turned seven years old recently. She is such a joy and a wonderful gift from God. I cherish each day of being her mother.
I began a tradition with our little one in the last couple of years. Each night after we read, we have *sing and scratch* time. I heard about this on Family Life one day and thought this particular child would love this idea since she is always begging for me to scratch her back, tickle her arms, etc. She does love this time and I think it is a fitting way to end her day. I am hoping she will always remember our sing and scratch time. I softly scratch her back while singing hymns(2-3). We have these 2 books and I sing from them. Such a sweet time.
Happy Birthday precious girl!

Golden Slumbers
Golden slumber kiss your eyes,
Smiles await you when you rise.
Sleep, pretty baby,
Do not cry,
And I will sing you a lullaby.
Care is heavy, therefore sleep,
While I o'er you watch do keep.
Sleep, pretty darling,
Do not cry,
And I will sing you a lullaby.

I am a stay at home mother to 4. I am very blessed to have a godly husband who loves the Lord and his family. I welcome the days of much needed grace,the times of sweet victories,and the tears of trials,knowing it is all for God's glory. I want my lifesong to sing to Him,the author and finisher of my faith. Soli Deo Gloria--To the Glory of God alone.

I LOVE that song! Precious! We sing all the time around our house also. There is almost nothing sweeter than little voices singing hymns! My kids like to have their backs scratched too. Our back scratching is mostly done while they are doing schoolwork or during nightly Bible reading time.
Happy Birthday to your precious girl!
Oh my goodness, Kim, she is BEAUTIFUL!!! what a pretty pretty girl. :)
I do the same thing for our children. We have five in one room. Our oldest and I sing and then we each take turns scratching. It is a routine. So sweet.
