Musical Encouragement-Oh Happy Day - The Edwin Hawkins Singers

It is a happy day. . . .each of us woke up.  Let's celebrate life!

Who Are You?

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. (Romans 8:30 KJV)

And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory. (Romans 8:30 NLT)

Today's Prayer

Lord, I'm feeling good today. I know who I am and whose I am. I'm Yours. You called me. You made me, and most importantly You saved me. Hallelujah! I come to give You glory. I come to give You praise. I come to lift You up. I come to magnify Your name. You've been so good, I just want to say thank you. Amen and amen again.

So Good

Better than chocolate

Sweeter than apple pie

Smother than ice cream

Oh, my, my, my

More refreshing than honeydew

Or berries topped with cream

Better than Grandma's cooking

Now, you know that's a dream

More tasty than candy yams

Covered with marshmallows

More delicious than tender barbecue

That'll make you slap the devil

You just so good

You just so tight

You make my life complete

You make everything all right

Sunday Love and Affirmatiions

Sunday Relaxation - Taking Care of You

I love Sundays. No matter what kind of week I have had. I look forward to Sundays. Whether it is staying in bed a little longer, curling up with a book, listening to music, taking a walk in nature, spending time with loved ones; I always think of Sundays as a day to celebrate The Creator and all of His Creations and as a day to take care of me.  That is not selfish. If I don't take care of myself how can I be there for those I love, how can I take on the world, how can I work for my dreams. 

Loving and giving include loving yourself and giving to yourself the things you need ... nourishment, joy, laughter, fun, shelter, clothing. Sometimes we forget that in that giving and loving are things like, serenity, relaxation, and recharging our inner batteries. Today... before life grabs you up and takes over, make a conscious choice to spend sometime taking care of you. 

SO... make sure... MaKe SuRe... you Take CaRe of YOU so you can say thank you for all your blessings, share a smile or some laughter with another, do a kindness for another and give and love with a lighter, brighter, gentler, relaxed spirit.

Have a Lovely Sunday and may The Great I Am Bless you and Keep you SaFe

Sunday Guided Meditation

Sunday Morning Guided Prayer Meditation

Sunday Reflections... praising life with rain

May I walk in the rain

May I be filled with joy

May I feel my body wet with rain

May I be present in nature

May rain fill me to overflowing

May the beauty I experience be the world’s environment.

May I play in the rain

May the beauty that fills me be my inner environment

May i dance in the rain

May the joy tat fills me be the world's environment

May i hear the music of rain

May my inner joy be the world’s experience

May I praise the rain

May may soul praise creation

May I dance in praise of life

May may soul rise in union with all of creation

in praise of life - dance in the rain

Some people feel the rain others just get wet.

-- Bob Marley --

it is raining here.  i love the rain. it makes me happy to feel the water on my face and body. i can't explain it. it is as if rain is my friend and comes out just for me. we laugh together and play together  and just spend time together. i can even bring my sorrows and cry with rain. i guess i just feel closer to nature and my inner me when it rains. it's as though i'm joining in praising life

anyway. i thought i would share some rainy day songs with you ... help you get in touch with your inner you... with praising life!!!!

and, if you get the urge… go out in the rain… let the rain dance on your tongue and play in your hair. let the rain soak your clothes and awaken your skin. play in the rain and jump in the puddles. or splash through puddles and get your legs wet. Stick out your tongue and catch a drop. dance in the rain - slow dance, tango, wild or crazy, just dance. However the music of the rain fills you, let the rain become a a part of you and nourish your body, your mind, your heart and your soul. become one with the rain and enjoy.

Kiss me in the rain And make me feel like a child again Bring back all those memories Kiss me in the rain And make me feel like a child again With the feeling that I get, I don't even mind if we get wet

umbrella (by rihanna)

Now that it's raining more than ever Know that we'll still have each other You can stand under my umbrella You can stand under my umbrella

she will be loved (maroon 5)

I don't mind spending everyday Out on your corner in the pouring rain Look for the girl with the broken smile Ask her if she wants to say awhile And she will be loved And she will be loved

wildflower (new birth)

Let her cry For she's a lady Let her dream For she's a child Let the rain fall down upon her She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

rainy days and mondays (the carpenters)

What i feel has come and gone before No need to talk it out We know what it's all about Hangin' around Nothing to do but frown Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

raining on sunday (keith urban)

Pray that it's raining on Sunday Stormin' like crazy We'll hide under the covers all afternoon Baby whatever comes Monday Can take care of itself' Cause we got better things that we could do When it's raining on Sunday

here comes the rain again (the eurythmics)

Here comes the rain again Falling on my head like a memory Falling on my head like a new emotion I want to walk in the open wind I want to talk like lovers do Want to dive into your ocean Is it raining with you

rain (swv)

Rain down on.....on me Let your love just fall like rain Just rain on me Just rain down on....on me Let your love just shower me Just rain on me

purple rain (prince)

I never meant to cause you any sorrow I never meant to cause you any pain I only wanted one time to see you laughing I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain

i can't stand the rain (ann peebles)

I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window Bringing back sweet memories I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window' Cause he's not here with me

rainy night in georgia (brook benton)

A distant moaning of a train Seems to play a sad refrain to the night A rainy night in Georgia Such a rainy night in Georgia Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world I feel like it's raini' all over the world

i wish it would rain (the temptations)

My eyes search the skies, desperately for rain ‘Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops, And no one will ever know That i'm cryin'....cryin' when i go outside, To the world outside my tears,  I refuse to explain, Oh,I wish it would rain

and don't forget Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head from the movie Butch Cassidy and The Sundance kid and Singing In The Rain as sung and danced by Gene Kelly

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... it's about learning to dance in the rain.

Help somebody! Pass It On!

If I can help somebody" 

If I can help somebody,as I pass along. 
If I can cheer somebody, with a word or song, 
If I can show somebody, He is travelling wrong 
Then my living shall not be in vain 

Chorus: 

Then my living shall not be in vain-- 
Then my living shall not be in vain 
If I can help somebody, as I pass along 
Then my living shall not be in vain. 

If I can do my duty, as all men ought 
If I can bring that duty to a world thats lost 
If I can spread a love message that the Master taught 
Then my living shall not be in vain 

Night Time Praise Eve. . . .
