Jackson loves to sing. He'll sing songs like "The ABC's" or "Jesus Loves Me," but he prefers to sing songs he makes up about anything and everything. I posted a video awhile ago of one of his made up songs.
The other day I heard him singing in his bed to a made up tune with the following lyrics, "because you're my favorite one, you're my favorite one, beeeecaaaause yoooooouuuu'rrre myyyyy faaaaavoooorite oooooooooooooonne." I'm pretty sure he was singing about his his new cars he got at the store.
I love that Jackson loves to sing. I love that his creativity is unbridled by what other people think. I hope he can keep that for a long time.
Of all the things Jackson sings I love it most when he sings praise music. Lately his favorite song is "Mighty to Save" by Hillsong.
I love hearing his little voice sing such big words. I don't just mean literally how big the words like "compassion" and "author of salvation" are, but rather the grandeur of their meaning. There's something about it that makes the meaning even more magnificent.
I love that he will sing them at random times during the day without any prompting at all. In the grocery store, for example, for everyone to hear. I caught myself being paranoid when he was singing "my God is mighty to save, he is mighty to save" over and over again. I didn't want anyone to take offense or judge me or ask me about what he was singing for fear that I might actually have to evangelize. My paranoia was only for a split second, and a good reminder of my fallen nature.
The Holy Spirit is at work in that little boy and I love seeing the fruit! It shines new light on the idea of faith like a child (Matthew 18:3). I pray for that kind of faith.

Great Post. I love that Jackson was singing "Mighty To Save" in the grocery store--that is SO precious. God is definitely at work in our little ones, and He is using you to instill a heart of worship in them, and the means to do so! Beautiful.
That's sweet. Hannah use to sing ALL the time in the store too.
