Yesterday I had the privilege of preaching at our home Church.  Our Pastor is on vacation and I filled in for him.  I have been listening to a song by the McRaes titled “He Knows My Name”.  It is an outstanding song.  I am sure you will hear more about the song here in the near future.

Yesterday, my message title was, “He Knows My Name”.  My wife knows how much I love the song by the McRaes.  She took the time Saturday evening to sit at her piano with the words to this song and her cell phone.  As she sat there she figured out how to play this song.  Just before I preach I love for her to sing.  She has not been feeling well so I knew whatever she was going to sing would be low.

She sang, “He Knows My Name” and it was in a low enough key that I could sing it.  Yes, the tears rolled.  Tears of joy and thanksgiving for her gift of taking the time to figure out this song so that she and I could sing it.  It added so much to the service.  Everyone enjoyed it, especially me.

As I sat there listening to this beautiful song and my wife singing it beautifully, my mind went to the Scriptures.  Look at John 12:3, “Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.”  That is it.  My wife’s song to me was just the same as Mary taking that costly ointment and anointing Jesus’ feet.  What an offering to the LORD and to me.  Thank you Tara!  I love you!

So, how are you doing?
