Let It Shine!

It is the middle of winter right now.

Winter can be so dark and cold, can't it?

But also so fun when it snows!

It is dark out right now,

and I started singing a song I loved when I was a kid.

It's called, "This Little Light of Mine."

Do you know it? Or what it means?

It means 

each one of us has a

 inside us...

because we are each unique - 

and have our own special qualities 

that make us beautiful to each other.

These special qualities in each of us 

make the 

the beautiful place it is.

You see, each of us 
makes a difference in the world...

and both of

 make the world better.

Did you know when you 

let the light inside you shine bright,

it makes other people want to shine too?

That's a very nice thing.

I'm so glad both of you 
are in the world with us right now...

because you make this world so special to us. 

The

 would not be the same without you in it. 

So, remember...

Let Your

 Shine!

Here is one version...and below are my other favorites. 

Maybe we can all sing it together next time we see you.

The next one is the African Children's Choir.

Grandpa and I went to see them 

at an Episcopal Church. They are amazing!

I love how they sing this song - 

especially the last part.

and 

Bruce Springsteen!
