God, Hallelujah!
Two of my little nieces, Kate, 3, and Nina, 5, attend Bible Study every Wednesday with their mom, my baby sister Darla. They have learned many Bible verses and songs and love to sing and recite them at home for their parents, Darla and Kenny. One day Darla was telling me how Kate, then 2 1/2, had just learned the song “Glory Hallelujah” and was enjoying singing it at home, but couldn’t quite get the words right.

I kept the two girls for a couple hours the next day and ever so often would start singing “Glory Hallelujah.” Each time I did, Kate-Kate, as she calls herself, would promptly join in to mine and Nina’s delight. I would immediately stop singing to listen to Kate-Kate joyously belt out, “GOD, HALLELUJAH!”

Note from Alex: After hearing about Kate's "God, Hallelujah," every time I start to say "O God" in a plea, I stop & think, I could be as positive as a child and simply offer praise to Him. I've started saying "God, Hallelujah" instead. God in a tiny child's heart, and her open praise for Him, opened up a new perspective for me. A little child shall lead them...
