Music Monday #40 ~ Love Song For A Savior

Thanks to Shawntele of Saved by Grace, for this wonderful meme. There won't be Monday blues for me again because my week starter will be filled with melodies for the Lord!

A beautiful song for our beautiful God...



In open fields of wild flowers,
She breathes the air and flies away
She thanks her Jesus for the daises and the roses in no simple language
Someday she'll understand the meaning of it all
He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close a heartbeat or a song on her lips
Someday she'll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call her and she will come running
and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and she'll pray,

"I want to fall in love with You"

Sitting silent wearing Sunday best
The sermon echoes through the walls
A great salvation through it calls to the people
who stare into nowhere, and can't feel the chains on their souls

He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close a heartbeat or a song on our lips
Someday we'll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call us and we will come running
and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and we'll pray,

"I want to fall in love with You"

It seems too easy to call you "Savior",
Not close enough to call you "God"
So as I sit and think of words I can mention
to show my devotion

"I want to fall in love with You"

"My heart beats for You"

Tea Talk Time #47

1. I'm having... Just plain, cold water...

2. I'm feeling... A bit worried about my DD's new "life" with the treatment she is undergoing now. You may read all about it in my other blog, STORIES FROM MY GARDEN...

3. On my mind... Comfort for my DD as she undergoes this long and tedious process of correcting her jawbone problem... Please pray with us for our DD's endurance and patience...

Then the LORD God formed a man
from the dust of the ground
and breathed into his nostrils
the breath of life,
and the man became a living being.
Genesis 2:7

Tea Talk Time #46

1. I'm having... Honey Lemon Green Tea again! It's actually instant, and comes in a green transparent bottle. It's called, "Real Leaf" -- by Coca Cola Co.

2. I'm feeling... Okay and happy. All is well with my kids, and my other kids (freshman students). :)

3. On my mind... Christmas vacation! (Guess this will be on my mind until that day comes!)

I am the gate;
whoever enters through me will be saved.
They will come in and go out,
and find pasture.
John 10:9

Music Monday #38 ~ Jesus What A Beautiful Name

Thanks to Shawntele of Saved by Grace, for this wonderful meme. There won't be Monday blues for me again because my week starter will be filled with melodies for the Lord!

Praise You, Jesus, for You are one and the same despite Your many beautiful names...



Jesus, what a beautiful name
Son of God, Son of Man
Lamb that was slain
Joy and peace, strength and hope
Grace that blows all fears away
Jesus, what a beautiful name

Jesus, what a beautiful name
Truth revealed, my future sealed
Healed my pain
Love and freedom, life and warmth
Grace that blows all fears away
Jesus, what a beautiful name

Jesus, what a beautiful name
Rescued my soul, my stronghold
Lifts me from shame
Forgiveness, security, power and love
Grace that blows all fear away
Jesus, what a beautiful name

2. I'm feeling... Refreshed after a long and exhausting past week.

3. On my mind... A long relaxing weekend with the family.

No one has ever seen God,
but the one and only Son,
who is himself God and is in
closest relationship with the Father,
has made him known.
John 1:18

Music Monday #37 ~ Held

Thanks to Shawntele of Saved by Grace, for this wonderful meme. There won't be Monday blues for me again because my week starter will be filled with melodies for the Lord!

A beautiful and inspirational song about why there is suffering in life...



Two months is too little
They let him go
They had no sudden healing
To think that providence
Would take a child from his mother
While she prays, is appalling
Who told us we'd be rescued
What has changed and
Why should we be saved from nightmares
Were asking why this happens to us
Who have died to live, it's unfair
This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was that when everything fell
We'd be held
This hand is bitterness
We want to taste it and
Let the hatred numb our sorrows
The wise hand opens slowly
To lilies of the valley and tomorrow
This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was that when everything fell
We'd be held
If hope if born of suffering
If this is only the beginning
Can we not wait, for one hour
Watching for our savior
This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was that when everything fell
We'd be held

Tea Talk Time #44

1. I'm having... Cold bottled water.

2. I'm feeling... Okay; although I feel a certain sadness in my heart because DH's 102 year-old Grandma passed away last Monday, Nov. 1st. She was a dear old lady who was loved by many, especially by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren (that includes my DS and DD). Although she was blessed to live a full life and enjoyed the love of her family, we will all still miss her. I know she is happier now with the Lord.

3. On my mind... Finishing a request by my sister-in-law to make a power point tribute to our Lola (Grandma), to be shown this Saturday, during the last night of her wake. He remains will be buried this Sunday in the Chinese Cemetery, where the rest of DH's dearly departed are.

His divine power has given us everything we need
for a godly life through our knowledge of him
who called us by his own glory and goodness.
2 Peter 1:3

Music Monday #36 ~ Baby Mine

Thanks to Shawntele of Saved by Grace, for this wonderful meme. There won't be Monday blues for me again because my week starter will be filled with melodies for the Lord!

I just want to reminisce the good old sweet times when my DS, who just turned 12 yesterday (Oct. 31), was a tiny baby... He is now a tween, and just a year away from becoming a teenager. God has blessed us with so much through DS, and we are grateful and thankful. The glory and honor of being DS's parents are His.



Baby mine, don't you cry.
Baby mine, dry your eyes.
Rest your head close to my heart,
never to part, baby of mine.

Little one, when you play,
pay no heed what they say.
Let your eyes sparkle and shine,
never a tear, baby of mine.

If they knew all about you,
they'd end up loving you, too.
All those same people who scold you,
what they'd give just for the right to hold you.

From your hair down to your toes,
you're not much, goodness knows.
But, you're so precious to me,
sweet as can be, baby of mine.
