Having a sense of rhythm!

Went to church this morning and there was a really talented team leading worship. The worship songs chosen by the worship leader has a tint of African flavour to it (not surprising, as he was a Afro-British), and i felt as if i was worshipping God from Africa itself!

We saw a double-bass player amidst the team and the sound of his double-bass just resonated and boomed through the room! Having noted the power of the double-bass, YL whispered to me, "Wonder if Bambino can hear it?"

I laughed and replied that Bambino was probably asleep but was sure he would soon wake up to the music!

And true enough, in the middle of worship, whilst singing this verse,"I will worship You with all that is within me...", I felt Bambino moving and kicking to the beat of the double bass!

At that moment, I realised two things:
a) As I was trying to worship God with all that is within me, Bambino must have realised the part that he plays in fulfilling that promise to God (afterall, he was within me!). A mother's (and father's) spiritual life must indeed have some effect on the unborn child!
b) Bambino sure had a sense of rhythm, as I felt him "move to the groove"!

I was reminded of this verse that YL had read out to me a few evenings ago:
"This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD. " (Psalm 102:18, KJV)

That morning, as a family, we worship and praise God with all of our being... :)
