A Musing: The Harp

Today's show:
Praise the Lord with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.                                                                                            Psalm 33:2


Today we'll begin this month's topic on worship. 

We'll discuss the origin and Biblical relevence of the harp as we learn to become instruments of worship. Join me today as we learn what God has to tell us about this soothing instrument.

Here is an adorable harp-themed craft you can make.

This would be super easy to duplicate with construction paper and a bit of yarn. Be creative. 

Put on some music mommy and lead your little ones in worship. Let them make a joyful noise with the instruments on hand whether its a harmonica,  a kazoo, or some pots and pans. 

Here is a coloring page to print out and enjoy. 

Can you memorize a scripture about the harp? Consider putting it to music.
