Today I had the privilege of going to Orchestra Hall with my 6th grade daughter we went to hear a concert based on "sleigh bell" masterpieces. In the adventure of our day I learned a few things along the way.
1) Girls who are 10, 11 and 12 years old DO NOT need makeup on their beautiful faces, some of the lovely girls I saw at school looked WAY too old beyond their years~Maybe we could encourage our daughters to see the BEAUTY that God has created and hold off on the "paint" til waaaay later in life :D
2) Triangles MAKE the orchestra come alive! I'm not joking...I played percussion for 12 years and sometimes we would fight over who got to play the triangle because that puppy rings over EVERYTHING and you feel like you are being called home for rest, comfort and food...or something like that!
3) As I watched the Conductor I could not help but think of God~I watched people with such a passion for their particular instrument, playing it with love and care and zest-but the Conductor saw the big picture and had a passion for all of the instruments blended together...he saw the big picture of what the piece was supposed to sound like-bringing the music to LIFE...How like our CREATOR to orchestrate HIS creation-blending every person and their unique gift mix for HIS GLORY without a doubt the most BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE of all.
Random thoughts I know...but that's how I'm rolling tonight :o)
