Sometimes I have a singing time go so well, that I hold on to the idea and do it again. Last year for Christmas I did a little singing program for the kids using ornaments and a little nativity scene. I assigned a song to each piece. It felt so spiritual and reverent that day! I came away feeling great!
Well, like I said in the title - there are no repeats. I guess our ward was feeling a little rowdy today. Sacrament meeting was kind of loud. The primary room was missing the music stand and table - in fact most rooms were missing their tables because the Spanish branch didn't put them away after their party last night. Primary was just plain crazy.
I can see how it can happen. It is a busy time of year. People are out and about. Kids don't get enough sleep. The morning rush of getting to church (we were actually late). But I was a little hurt when junior primary booed me. I learned a long time ago not to ask them yes or no questions because they always yell no. But today we had some extra time and I suggested that we sing the last song I had planned one more time and they booed me. What's a chorister to do? I hope I handled it ok. I calmly said they had to stop and I don't like being booed and that they had to sing the song anyway.
So I should have planned a more exciting singing time for today. Who can guess what the mood will be for any given week? I can't.
