Singing Off Tune

My daughters have all loved to sing. Right now there is only two living here for the most part and one of them in particular is almost always humming or belting out a tune.
Anything from Disney tunes,hymns, worship choruses and popular radio songs.
                                             

I love to hear her sing. In my  opinion she has a great voice, and is quite fluent at hitting the notes right.
                                              

But as I thought about this I pondered the fact that even if she was not the best singer, I would still want her to sing. 
It would make me sad if she stopped singing because she wasn't 'the best'. 
I'd miss her brave message conveyed in song.
                                       

                                 

I guess I relate this to my blogging. When I compare myself to the myriad of wonderful and gifted bloggers thriving in cyber space, I sometimes wonder why I bother.
I feel inadequate and incompetent. 

Then I remember why my daughter sings. She does not sing to be heard or to necessarily prove a point.                                        

She sings to express herself. She sings to bring joy.
She sings  to escape a little.  She sings because of love.                             

                Thank you, I needed that. 

       Small, inconspicuous  me; my voice in a choir 
             with thousands of really, really good ones.
                                  

    All  of us belting out a tune the only way we know how.
