Some Sundays, our days are not very reverent or quiet. Our lesson in Relief Society today was to help remind us to be reverent and quiet, in all things that we do. To carry that over during the week, so we can be an example of the church we represent. And especially when we're trying to get ready for church. Living here, has made me realize how hard it can be to be reverent when you're getting ready with a 7 year old... let alone more kids. I don't know how my parents did it with 6 kids... Amazing.
When we're reverent and respectful, we carry ourselves differently than when we're not mindful of the respect we should have with us, and others around us can tell.
We sang Reverently, Quietly during Relief Society today for our opening hymn, and it was quite lovely, and it set the mood and spirit for the rest of the meeting. I love singing primary songs. Last fall when I was put in Primary (for the whole 2 months I was in Primary), they sometimes asked me to fill in to lead the music, and I think that was my favorite thing about being in Primary. I have SUCH lovely memories of growing up singing those songs. They're such a part of me.
On the way home from church, A Child's Prayer came on the CD in the car, and we were all singing it, and I almost cried. What is with me and the constant water works with music? I never used to be like this. Music is a definite blessing in church.
I guess, I just hold church music in a special place in my heart. Very reverently, and quietly in there.

Primary chorister is my favorite and best calling in the church. I LOVE it. But just being in Primary does it for me - love the combination of music and children. You can't beat that.
Music gets me too! Especially the Primary songs. They are just fabulous. Glad you had a good day.
Music is a definite plus, and I always love the children the most when they're singing and happy! :)
love the hymns. LOVE them. they are definitely inspired. and they inspire me!
We had a lady in church just Sunday who said that Primary chorister was, at first, her most dredded calling, then when she was released said it was her absolute most favorite one.
Also, My last calling in primary-- whenever they sang A Mothers prayer, I always teared up, every time! Loveya, Mom
:) There's just something about children singing. It's so close to heaven (or what I imagine heaven to be like anyway).
Great post, I am almost 100% in agreement with you
