Praise Him, Praise Him

I'm learning so much about praising God from my son. He learned a new song Monday that he loves for us to sing:

Praise Him, praise Him (imagine his little arms swaying back and forth in front of him)
All ye little children (now he is waving them up and down excitedly)
God is love (one arm a bit up toward God, then he touches his tummy)
God is love

Repeat

He gets so excited when I start to sing and his smile is from ear to ear! I think the best part is that I find him singing it at various times without any prompting from me. While we were on a walk Monday afternoon, I glanced down and found him doing the motions and saying some of the words all on his own. I have also found him singing Jesus Loves Me at random times. He will stop in the middle of playing to sing. He will stop walking to sing. He just feels like singing, and so he does. I know God's heart swells when He hears praise from this little one, and I know God desires for me to stop as well throughout my day to praise Him. My boy isn't too busy to sing, and neither am I.

Praise Him, praise Him, all ye little children. God is love. God is love.
