1980-something
My brother and I both didn't start singing publicly until our adult years. And we didn't start singing together until just a couple of years ago. We did a couple of ditties at his previous church and they went well, but never did I get emotional about it.
We sang together this past weekend and while I listened to my brother belt out his part, I couldn't help but get teary. I don't know what the difference was this time--maybe a combination of things: our families are closer than we've ever been; we now worship together at the same church home; a sweet spirit present while we were singing; and an awesome song with a simple, but very true message. Whatever it was, I was nearly bursting with pride while listening to Josh sing his heart out. Is the song technically perfect? No. We had a few minor hiccups that could be polished with more practice. But I don't think those things even mattered, because the spirit of God was definitely present.
I couldn't ask for a sweeter time--singing with my brother while he and my husband play accompaniment. I hope you enjoy listening as much as we love doing it. :) (And if you listen closely you can hear Clayton singing along as well!)
