"Say Something..."

I go to You Tube and browse for new songs and  also listen to "old-time favorites."  In doing so, helps me craft my words. Music will forever be a very private/personal lifeline. There is an unspeakable joy that surges within that is uncontainable, mystical & gives you a unique freedom when you listen to a good song.

All that encompasses a great song is one that moves you and brings you to a better place in your heart where you don't feel stuck and disconnected; but gives you that audacity to be more of you--loving. hopeful & raw.
 
I could still remember vividly when I was in the elementary grade; I would wash by hands containers of dirty laundry by the front yard near the artesian well where you pump water. That would take me hours to finish the task. I didn't care for the heat that hovers my head & skin. The prickling/piercing temp. didn't bother me. My consolation was to have the radio with me so I could listen to the tunes of the Beatles, Air Supply, Bread, Simon & Garfunkel, Barbara Streisand, Bryan Adams, the Temptations and many more great artists of the 70" era. I say, nothing beats the soulfulness of that generation. That gave me the reservoir of enriched memories.

No wonder, it is a lifeline  for me...

So I heard this song. A couple of versions. But I like this one better...

"I need You Lord..."

          
           God's presence that wraps around us, is what we should be pursuing...through it all;
over the mountains, the seas and our darkest nights, He is all we need.

Love the images that convey the heart of God for us. May I go deeper in understanding
His plans for my life...I need you Lord Jesus.

             

"In Everything, Give Thanks..."

                  As we wait for my sister's lab work result, I trust the Lord's report. I'm just a bit disappointed that she won't be able to join us eat my roasted turkey and its trimmings. I would even let her bring her favorite wine.
I know she's in good hands. If she has to be admitted, we'll take the food to her. That way, she won't miss a thing.

This reminds me that while we pursue the business of the day, God's plan get in the mix. Of course, as a child of God, you will always have an inkling where you've missed the mark. And if we're obedient to the Holy Spirit promptings, no sickness or ailment could savage our bodies.

Meditate on  His truth that our bodies are his temple. Know what to inhale & exhale in your life...like going for an adrenalin rush for black Friday sales or stay home and just continue savoring the spirit of gladness in your heart.

Also thankful to those who read my blogs at heart.

Till tomorrow...

  Thank You Lord Jesus For Today:
 
 

                                   "There is a river that flows clear and cool. It winds through some of the gorgeous scenery imaginable and carries with it a beauty that is unsurpassed. To see such sights convinces a person of the reality of God.
God gives us glimpses of heavens here on earth, so that we might long for such a place from the deepest reaches of our hearts.
The part of us that carries the seed of God responds to His beauty in creation. If we will look at the world with our spiritual eyes rather than our physical eyes, we will begin to see God's glories in many new ways.
The gifts of God are indeed abundant. Open your eyes and enjoy them all..."

"A Friendly Reminder..."

        And if they come back with renewed minds and committed hearts;  chances are, things would be different. Because everything that is meant to stay, it couldn't go away. True love speaks volumes: you don't vacillate. Making it is a life's decision. Anybody that fidgets or even "fickle-minded" about it needs to leave. After all, love is never a compromise, not even an option.
Just my personal take...

Happy Sabbath Everyone!

"Our Words Are In Charge"

"When we can't hold back, or set boundaries, on what comes from our lips,
 our words are in
  charge--not us. But we are still responsible for those words. Our words do not come
from
  somewhere outside of us. Words are the product of our hearts."
 ~ Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John
  Townsend

 I'm extremely "biggie" with words. I've been chasing them, writing them, and dreaming
 about them, metaphorically.
 Words are the best conveyor of the soul. Don't be callous with your words. Honor them
 by being
 truthful and respectful. They're you...

 With your thoughtful words, walls are coming down.
Let your words Today empower someone to
 hope, and even love again.

 You Take Care Always...
