I’m glad you’re not at my home on Sunday mornings when I’m trying to get the kids out the door to church. It’s not pretty. I race around trying to find clothes, locate shoes and socks, pack a lunch (to occupy the toddler during coffee hour after the service), and figure out how to get the baby to take a nap before his normal nap time. My husband has to leave early for church, so like many pastors’ wives, I fly solo on Sundays.
When parenting gets stressful, I find it helpful to put on some music. Just as a soundtrack changes the mood of a scene, good music can change the mood of the morning. And if I start filling my mind with the truth before I even get to church, my heart is more ready to serve and receive when I get there.
The next time Sunday morning gets hectic, I hope this hour-long playlist will lighten the mood in your home or car and help you lift your thoughts to the Lord.
