Come on, Heaven's Children


I always tear when I sang Amazing Grace in church.

Because some words reasonate so much of life. But check this out, a cutie's version and the Lord's prayer. Listen how she stretched her "Amen".

Amazing Grace & The Lord's Prayer

Another sweet angel, Over The Rainbow

All reminded me of my favorite song, when I was eleven years old.

God, you knows my heart.

Today, By John Denver
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
Ill taste your strawberries, Ill drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today

Ill be a dandy, and Ill be a rover
Youll know who I am by the songs that I sing
Ill feast at your table, Ill sleep in your clover
Who cares what the morrow shall bring

Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
Ill taste your strawberries, Ill drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today

I cant be contented with yesterdays glory
I cant live on promises winter to spring
Today is my moment, now is my story Ill laugh and Ill cry and Ill sing


"In the whole divine journey, no one else can walk your pathway. In the whole cosmic choir, no one else can sing your song." John Ortberg

Mom!..What happened to my hair?

A fellow mate I lost touch, sent forth this photo of her little boy - after a haircut. I chuckled at his expression. All children are indeed beautiful.

The Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven
Matthew 18:5 "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" He called a little child and had him stand among them. And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.

The fear thing


I like the following passage.
Leonard Sweet writes,

"The fear thing is dominating our need for security. Just look at our cars to see the security issue at work. First we install seat belts. Then we install shoulder belts. Then we build contraptions that put both together. Then we turn the shoulder harness into a boa constrictor that pins us to our seats and doesn't let us move. Then we install air bags. Pretty soon we'll be riding around inside a giant marshmallow."

A giant marshmallow? Like the one above?
1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear...
