"Laina-Bean" by Josh Snyder Music: Celebrating the People God Entrusted to You


Gratitude turns ordinary days into gifts.

“Laina-Bean” by Josh Snyder Music is a track inspired by Josh’s own young daughter, Alaina Grace. A young girl who points at every plane in the sky. Josh writes that “the song celebrates fatherhood, childlike wonder, gratitude, and the people God has entrusted to us.” He has been celebrating her arrival since that warm early April morning. 

Josh Snyder Music - Laina BeanListen closely to the lyrics. Beneath the beats, you’ll hear a father who knows his place. “I came here with nothing. And I don’t deserve anything.” Nobody earns a child’s laugh. Josh cherishes it as a precious gift. Josh also looks ahead. He knows that hard nights will come, and when Alaina falls, he plans to “point her to Christ.” The bridge of the song slows down and asks a question every parent, grandparent, and friend should answer: “What are we leaving behind?”

Who has God placed in your life? A child, a spouse, a roommate, a neighbor who waves at you every morning? You didn’t gather these people around you on your own. Read what Scripture says about children: “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward” (Psalm 127:3). A heritage is handed down, never bought. The same is true of everyone at your table.

Gratitude changes how you hold them. Grateful people slow down. They notice the twinkle, the clapping hands, the small voice asking questions from the back seat.

So try this today. In your prayers today, name three people and thank God for each one of them. Put your phone down for ten minutes and give someone your full attention. Show a child, with both your words and your life, that Jesus loves them. Read Matthew 5:14–16, “You are the light of the world. …”, and then ask yourself: “Can they see the light?” 

Give “Laina-Bean” a listen. Dance with gratitude, thanking God for the people that He placed in your life. That’s what Josh made this song for. “Thank you for my Laina-Bean!”

(Related scripture: Psalm 127:3; Psalm 90:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:18)

“I Believe” by Reagan Nichole: A Ten-Year-Old’s Bold Declaration of Faith

What if darkness can’t stay where Jesus lives? Eleven-year-old Reagan Nichole from Texas wrote “I Believe” right after she turned ten. Most of us wait decades before saying what we believe out loud. She sings it! Her opening lines name a fear many people quietly carry with them: “You think that you’ve gone way too far, that there’s no way to turn back.” Have you ever felt that? Reagan reminds us of a promise. Jesus “will wash you clean.” No résumé required. No catching up. She calls the song her personal declaration that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Her faith isn’t a Sunday event. It lives in everyday life and turns dark to light. She sings: “I know He makes the darkness flee.” Jesus said the same thing long before any songwriter did. In John 8:12 He tells us, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Notice the verb, “…follow …” . His light isn’t something you earn. You walk in it, one step at a time, right in t...

"Digging Ditches" Brandon Drit: Preparing for Water You Can’t See

Obedience comes first. The rain comes later. Brandon Drit knows what dry seasons can feel like. His song, “Digging Ditches”, opens on a desert road, with strength fading and a question that probably sounds a lot like yours: “How much longer will this last?” The message of the song grew out of 2 Kings 3:16, and it also marks his first professionally edited and mastered release, a ditch of its own, dug in faith. Picture the following scene. Three armies are stranded in the wilderness with nothing to drink. Then God sends Elisha with a strange order: dig trenches in the dry valley. The promise that follows sounds impossible: “You shall not see wind or rain, but that streambed shall be filled with water, so that you shall drink” (2 Kings 3:17). Digging in a drought will seem foolish to some. Who on earth shovels dirt for rain that hasn’t shown up? Only the people who trust the One who promised it. We’ve seen similar promises happen before (e.g., Noah), and in 2 Kings 3 we see it happenin...

"My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)" by Avery Stafford: One Heart at Peace Can Change the Room

Peace begins in a willing heart. When did you last open your own time capsule? Avery Stafford found a time capsule somewhere in his mind and opens it in his song “My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)”. His time capsule contained a Folgers can filled with buttons and thread, a crystal globe, a denim patch, and the scent of Avon cologne. Seemingly ordinary treasures, but each one carries a Christmas that he’s never stopped loving. Avery blends gospel warmth with soulful pop to speak to the child in all of us, the child who still believes that Love leads the way. In the bridge, he wishes that child well, “forever dancing under the starlight with stories yet to tell.” The song also reminds us that memories alone cannot fix a restless / broken world, and he knows it: “We long for happily ever afters, but none of us really knows.” So where does peace begin? Not in a headline, a treaty, the outcome of the midterms, or a December calendar. Paul gives us an answer in Colossians 3:15: “And...
