Scott's Virtual Gratitude Concert Continues with three songs reflecting about Mary: 1. Mary's Lullaby: One of my most cherished memories was holding my baby boy last year, (2019) he was 6 weeks old, and singing this song to him as if he was the baby Jesus for a Christmas program at my church. What a special song and such an interesting perspective to ponder on what Mary must have been thinking while holding her baby. SHOW LESS 2. Mary Did You Know? Quia Respexit from Bach's Magnificat: This text is taken from Luke 1: "For he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: behold, for from this time, may I be called blessed." What a week we have had! Our little Scotty continues to heal and do SO well from his skull surgery this past week. It's truly incredible. It is incredible to me that he needs nothing for pain much at this point, just 5 days post-operation. For now, the hardest thing for him is sleep disruptions due to the swelling in the head and being uncomfortable shifting in his sleep at night, and just needing to be held. The swelling will continue to subside over the coming weeks. As is first and most important when healing from anything, REST is so critical. And so, continuing in our virtual gratitude concert, I found it appropriate to share this one at this point in his healing journey...and I hope it brings peace and restful sentiments to anyone else who may need it at this time for any other reason: Text translation from Gabriel Faure's Requiem "Pie Jesu" is: Merciful Jesus, Lord, grant them rest, grant them rest, eternal rest. In case you're interested in the details about what it was all about (sharing now only for informational purposes, as we have been more than helped, thank you!)
