My Instrument

I thank God for the gift of music! He created it so special and so intricate that human beings can do almost anything with it that we can imagine! Look what we have done! We have gone from the simple concepts of Gregorian Chant to amazing orchestral scores, to the discoveries of harmony and instruments, to the use of electronics! Music can make us feel things we don't normally feel and calm our ever active spirits.
I love music. And because I love it, I have tried different instruments over the years. Piano: loved it at first until I started learning to play by the rules. Guitar: LOVED it! Still want to get back at it, but I didn't take the time to practice. Pennywhistle: am currently working on it and find I can play it fairly well if I try. But I'm just a very lazy person and practicing is not something I often do.
I want to kick myself sometimes because God has given me a natural feel for music, especially rhythm but my mom shot down my drums and bass guitar plans, and I never take enough time to use that feel and actually learn to play something.
Thankfully, God must have known how lazy I would turn out to be because he blessed me with a voice. A voice with a very wide range. A voice that can reach above and below the treble cleft with ease. A voice that comes easy and naturally to me. A voice I trained without hardly any effort.
I am very thankful for the instrument God has given to me. I am indeed blessed.
