About a month ago, Emma was asked to sing The National Anthem at the National Day of Prayer service. She was familiar with the song, since she learned it last fall for the Cattle Call Mini Rodeo.
So she practiced a little bit everyday, and by yesterday evening, all of my kids could sing the entire song. What a wonderful choral sound that made! I truly love that I can usually hear singing in my household at just about any given time.
Last night, we took the whole family over to the service. After an awesome praise and worship time, the Naval Color Guard presented the flag, and then out came Emma. She stood on that stage in front of at least 500 people and sang her little heart out. We were incredibly proud to say the least! Proud of our daughter, proud of our country, and proud and in awe of our God!
Check out the video of our eight year old Emma, singing the National Anthem (without a microphone, might I add)!
