I’m currently teaching at a school in Grenada, and I was asked to teach some patriotic songs to the children for their February 7 Independence Day celebration. I only had two music classes to make this happen. Other than the Grenada National Anthem, I was not familiar with these songs and spent hours on the Internet trying to see what I could find. The search was frustrating and the resources not easily available, as in other countries. I couldn’t find lyrics, let alone guitar chords which I would need to accompany the singers.
Saddened by my lack of success, I called the school early one morning to say I didn’t think I could complete this project. I asked if anyone could help me. They couldn’t see a way to help but were understanding and appreciated my attempts.
School was going to start in just a few hours, and Independence Day wasn’t far away. After I hung up the phone, I closed my eyes and prayed. Helping the children learn the songs felt like a right idea. I knew that God, divine Mind, supplies our every need, and Mind was governing all. I declared these spiritual truths for only a few minutes as I sat in front of my computer.
