Music and my life

All day long my radio is attending me worship music. I love LORD and I do want every minute of it to remind me the wonderful things GOD has done for me and he is going to do.  The music I listen helps me to fortress faith on my GOD. When I feel down it uplifts my sprite, and most of all it gives me hope. When I feel lonely I increase the volume of the music so that I feel I am not lonely. Music has helped me to understand the meaning of love and to love others. When I feel cold, bad, grouchy it brings my good strength to overcome those feelings. Music saves me from violence- in my life and in my family life as well. When I feel angry it calms me down. Music has also swept away my bad memories. When I hear certain music it reminds me the wonderful places me and my husband had visited especially those first years of our relationship and the wonderful memories we have.  When I miss my family back home I listen to my mom’s favorite song which raises my feeling, that mom is near to me. Those songs take me to a journey across the miles. When I hear my cultural songs, furious flame leaps in my heart, I remember those freedom songs that trembled dictatorship power. Those songs helped me to love my country and to know its history.

I love listening to my iPod, when I am running and doing my aerobic exercise, it gives me the energy to finish those hardy minutes.  

I always make my little boy to listen to classical music when he lays on his bed; I know it will feel his disturbed day with peace. He is three now, he always asks me to turn on the music after his bed time story. I guess my understanding on music has also works well on him. Since he was infant I love to sing him nursery rhymes, this really creates a strong bondage between us. It wonderfully thought him how to say I love you mom, isn’t that amazing. Barney’s song “I love you, you love me we are happy family” is our favorite lyric since then.  

These days our kids are stolen by technology; such as cell phones, video games, television and the like. Though they are PG rated, at least 10 minutes violence is observed. As parents we have therefore needs to be extremely careful on those Medias. I will not let my children watch or hear violent music that trigger disturbance, violence, hate and that reflects inferiority. As a parent I will show and coach them the best side of music, to realize its meaning and to live accordingly.  When we see some of hard rock and rap music they have bad influence on their audience. They lead their audience to be violent, criminal, to practice unsafe sex, to use alcohol and drugs, to be disrespectful and to practice behaviors that are out of the social norm.

For sure as always music will keep me nearer to GOD, be my shelter in feeling my mind with peace. It will keep me on my right truck, and will help me to show my love to others in the future.
