Fix My Eyes

I love it when the Spirit speaks to me outside of church, temples, prayer, or some organized event made to encourage us to be better.  The older I get, the more often I feel it in everyday occurrences.

Today I was getting ready for the day when little guy started crying.  So I stopped, picked him up, started to dance, and sing along to the song that was playing on Pandora.  It just happened to be my favorite Christian band, For King And Country.  The song that was playing is called, "Fix My Eyes."

Besides them being able to mix up their music and not just sing about Jesus, they have a few songs that I can't get enough of because of the beat.  So I'm dancing along with baby boy to one of those very songs.  Baby boy is still so floppy with his neck so we were doing this with him resting on my shoulder.  I decided to sing along and thought that I should put him in my arms but have him face me so that he could see me sing to him.  It was nearing the end of the song as I looked straight into his eyes and sang:

Love like I'm not scared
Give when it's not fair
Live life for another
Take time for a brother
Fight for the weak ones
Speak out for freedom
Find faith in the battle
Stand tall but above it all
Fix my eyes on you
I fix my eyes on you
I fix my eyes on you

As it was repeating these lines in the song, I got all choked up.  It felt as if I was looking straight into his soul and trying to teach him this concept that I had just sung.  Baby boy, please be good to all you come in contact but above it all, please fix your eyes on Christ.

Sometimes it really bothers me that I don't know if our sweet boy will stay in our family forever.  Anxiously waiting.  Other times, I'm just so grateful for the spirit he has brought in our house and if that is all we get, I will still be thankful.  But more than anything, I pray that if he leaves that something good has been instilled in his soul.
