Day 205 of Photo Inspirations — What “Echoes” From You?
\nI’m still in Washington so my daily inspirations continue to come from this gorgeous Northwest and my precious, technological, trend-setter family!!  My son’s birthday was last week and one of the gifts he received from Shawntel and the boys was this new Echo by Amazon — another one of the products mastered-minded by their good friend who is Senior VP at Amazon, and his team.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nEcho’s name is “Alexa” and she is a hands-free, voice response system that is always connected and ready to respond to her name….and she’s fast. You just say “Alexa” and give her a command or request and she’ll play audiobooks, give your upcoming schedule, dim a light switch, turn on a fan, add to your shopping list, tell you who the 30th president of the U.S. is and can answer just about any questions you may have.  She’ll tell you sports’ scores, the news, weather, Wikipedia facts, definitions, answers.  She’s an alarm and a timer.  I am continually amazed at the technological brilliance in this world.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

I went into the living area of my children’s home and my two youngest boys were playing a video game on TV, and were listening to Alexa play Christian music.  At breakfast, Bryson said, “Alexa, play “10,000 Reasons” (his favorite song), and both boys were so into it, they were waving their arms in praise as they sang. <\/p>\n

I LOVE ECHO!!!   She had my heart right away. LOL!   And I loved the “echo” that she prompted in my boys AND me.  This song, “10,000 Reasons” or “Bless the Lord Oh My Soul” is the natural response (echo) I desire to always have to life’s surprises and interruptions: Check out these lyrics:
\n[Verse 1]
\nThe sun comes up; it’s a new day dawning.
\nIt’s time to sing Your song again,
\nWhatever may pass, and whatever lies before me,
\nLet me be singing when the evening comes!<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nBless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul.
\nWorship His holy name; Sing like never before,
\nO my soul, l I worship Your holy name.<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nYou’re rich in love and You’re slow to anger.
\nYour name is great and Your heart is kind.
\nFor all Your goodness, I will keep on singing,
\n10,000 REASONS for my heart to find.<\/p>\n

Of course, this was my photo inspiration for today. It’s an inspiration I could repeat everyday!  An ECHO is a reflection of a voice or sound.  Oh, that our ECHO would be singing “Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me, Let me be singing when the evening comes.” <\/p>\n

Here’s the link to Matt Redman singing this beautiful song of worship and praise — maybe it could be what your voice and heart are ECHOing today!
