I love the new happy noise that we have here in our house. I'm reminded of a sermon I once listened to by R.G. Kelly from Liberty Faith Church. (Sadly, I was unable to find it online.) It was called, "Treasure in the House of the Righteous" and referred to Proverbs 15:6,
"In the house of the righteous is much treasure:
but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble."
Even the noise here is a treasure... signs of little children, learning skills, loving life and singing out in joy. Hearing Skeeter play "Lavendar's Blue" takes me back to my childhood when my sister was learning that very melody. We sang that and other tunes together, just as Scooter and Skeeter sing together over the piano. Right now, Skeeter's playing "London Bridge." We've learned to recognize the tune of "Go to Sleep, Little Baby," a tune that Skeeter wrote and taught Scooter to play. I'm reveling every day in the beauty of their childhoods. It's the treasure in this house.
