“May the favor[beauty] of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands.” Psalm 90:17

It is called ‘The Dime Song.’ I know this because my wife composed it. And you ought to hear the tune because, it’s quite catchy! Especially when she sings it while playing the ukulele! Though you may have never heard it before, that song is a big hit with her crowd! You see, she is a pre-school teacher. Her audience is composed of well…PRE-schoolers. My wife is COOL!
Years ago she mentioned she might like to take up an instrument. Being rather quirky, she was asked “which one?” When she mentioned the ukulele out loud, our son bought her a nice one. She quickly mastered about 5 chords and set out to become an entertainer! Though she is no Israel Kamakawiwoʻole, her legend is growing.
There are entertainers, speakers and comedians who work hard for YEARS to be able to capture and hold their audience’s attention. Katie has mastered the technique with 2 unique natural qualities. 1. She loves kids and 2. She loves to teach. Combining those 2 loves, there is NOTHING that she can’t use to creatively press knowledge into a child’s brain! A ukulele is just 1 of many mastered tools in her hands. ‘The Dime Song’ and ‘A nickle is Worth 5 Cents,” are songs to teach kids about money values. Because they are quirky, they work! And God uses her… MIGHTILY!
The Bible verse today is her favorite. Every single Believer in Jesus Christ has been given the gift of ABUNDANT Grace and Eternal Life. The gift ALSO comes with a call…”Go and tell others about what YOU have received!” And while Christendom is FILLED with people FILLED with what God has to offer, most people don’t willingly set out to fulFILL the Great Commission call! This verse promises us that if we were to do a simple honest survey of our hearts, ANYONE can find a quality or 2 that God can energize and use for His Purpose! If we would only offer them!
People need Jesus. Little people, big people, rich people, poor people, witchy people and itchy people alike! NO one has been created who is not meant to be a container for the Joy of God. God’s way is simple… He gives to us.. and simply wants us to pass it on! How easy should THAT be? ANY effort will be blessed and used by God for HIS Glory. When you combine what YOU love with HIS love, you are GUARANTEED to be FAMOUS… to HIM!
The other day she was practicing when I just smiled, rolled my eyes and shook my head! “Yer crazy,” I said! She went to school and told her fans what I said! They responded… “We LOVE you miss Katie, You’re so COOL! Now put on your sunglasses and play ‘The Dime Song’ for us!” Now how can I POSSIBLY compete with someone so famous? Well THAT… my friends, is the EXACT same question GOD asks of ALL of us!
