A Living Sacrifice



Living Sacrifice 
by Chris Christian

Take my life a living sacrifice
Knowing it’s the least that I can do
Make my life a living sacrifice
Holy and acceptable to You

I looked upon my life
And realized at last
Within myself there’s nothing I can do
And yet here I stand to offer
All I am and give myself
Completely Lord to You

I cannot be content until I reach that plane
How little I have given up to You
Lord break down my will
Make my desires your own
I long to give my everything to You

Was it You?


Some one started the whole day wrong--
Was it you?
Some one robbed the day of its song--
Was it you?
Early this morning some one frowned;
Some one sulked until others scowled;
And soon harsh words were passed around--
Was it you?


Some one started the day aright--
Was it you?
Some one made it happy and bright--
Was it you?
Early this morning, we are told,
Some one smiled and all through the day--
This smile encouraged young and old--
Was it you?

Psalm 139:1-18




O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.
5 You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it. 

7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;
12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day; 
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.

13 For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works
And that my soul knows very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret, 
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written, 
The days fashioned for me, 
When as yet there were none of them. 

17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.


Psalm 139:1-18

Black Magic Woman by Santana



"Black Magic Woman" is a song written by Peter Green that first appeared as a Fleetwood Mac single in various countries in 1968, subsequently appearing on the 1969 Fleetwood Mac compilation albums English Rose (US) and The Pious Bird of Good Omen (UK). In 1970, it became a classic hit by Santana, as sung by Gregg Rolie, reaching #4 in the U.S. and Canadian charts, after appearing on their Abraxas album, becoming more closely associated with Santana than Fleetwood Mac,
Santana's version, recorded in 1970, is a medley with Gábor Szabó's 1966 "Gypsy Queen", a mix of jazz, Hungarian folk and Latin rhythms. The song became one of Santana's staples and one of their biggest hits. Abraxas reached #1 on the charts and hit quadruple platinum in 1986, partially thanks to "Black Magic Woman." The Santana version is also used as a cover in the music/rhythm video games such as Guitar Hero III and Guitar Hero: On Tour while the master of Santana's version was made available as Downloadable content for Rock Band 3.

Whoa! just found more favourable excuses :)



Dust If  You Must

Dust if you must,
but wouldn't it be better
to paint a picture, write a letter
bake a cake, or plant a seed
ponder the difference between want and need.
~
Dust if you must,
but there is not much time
with rivers to swim and mountains to climb
music to hear and books to read
friends to cherish and life to lead.
~
Dust if you must,
but the world's out there
the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair,
a flutter of snow, a shower of rain,
this day will not come round again.
~
Dust if you must,
but bear in mind,
old age will come and it's not kind.
And when you go, as go you must
You, yourself, will make more dust!

The happy fridge!

Wow!  think if my fridge was like this, not only that I'd have many big smiles everytime I open it, might even help me to lose a few unwanted kilos as I would not want to take the items out at all :)

May today...


May today there be peace within you.
May you trust God that you are exactly 
where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities 
that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, 
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing 
that you are a child of God. 
Let His presence settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, 
dance, and to bask in the sun. 
It is there for each and every one of you.

Who Is God?


GOD is;
Lord Almighty,
Omnipotent King,
Lion of Judah,
Rock of Ages,
Prince of Peace,
King of Kings,
Lord of Lords,
Provider, Protector,
Paternal Leader,
Ruling Lord and
Reigning King of all the Universe.
He is Father,
He is Helper,
He is Guardian,
and He is GOD.

He is the First and the Last,
The Beginning and the End,
He is the Keeper of Creation and
Creator of all He keeps;
The Architect of the universe
And manager of all times.
He always was, He always is,
And always will be ...
unmoved, unchanged, undefeated,
and never undone.

He was bruised and bought healing.
He was pierced and eased pain.
He was persecuted and bought freedom.
He was dead and bought life.
He is risen and brings power.
He reigns and brings peace.

He is Light, Love, Longevity and Lord.
He is Goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and GOD
He is Holy, Righteous, Mighty, Powerful and Pure.
His ways are right, His word is eternal,
His will is unchanging,
and His mind is on Me !

He is my Saviour,
He is my Guide,
He is my Peace,
He is my Joy,
He is my Comfort.
He is my Lord and He rules my life.
I serve Him because He is GOD
And is worthy to be served.

His bond is love,
His burden is light, and
His goal for me is abundant life.
I follow Him because He is ...
THE Wisdom,
THE Power of the powerful,
THE Ancient of Days,
THE Ruler of rulers,
THE Leader of leaders,
THE Overseer of over comers,
And Sovereign Lord of all
That was and is and is to come.

Now if that seems impressive to you,
Try this on for size ...
His goal is a relationship with ME!
He will never leave me,
Never forsake me,
Never mislead me,
Never forget me,
Never overlook me,
And never cancel my appointment in
His appointment book!

When I fall, He lifts me up.
When I fail, He forgives.
When I am weak, He is strong.
When I am lost, He is the way.
When I am afraid, He is my courage.
When I stumble, He steadies me.
When I am hurt, He heals me.
When I am broken, He mends me.
When I am blind, He leads me.
When I am hungry, He feeds me.
When I face trials, He is with me.
When I face persecution, He shields me.
When I face problems, He is the answer.
When I face loss, He provides for me.
When I face death, He carries me Home!

He is everything for everybody,
Everywhere, every time, and every way.
He is GOD,
He is faithful and true,
I am His and He is mine.

My Father in Heaven has already defeated
The father of this world,
And so if your asking why I stand and feel so secure,
Understand this ...
He said it, and that settles it!
GOD is in control,
I am on His side,
And that means all is well with my soul.
Everyday is a blessing for ...

Everyday is Earth Day


Earth Day is a day that is intended to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's natural environment. Earth Day was founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in first held on April 22, 1970. While this first Earth Day was focused on the United States, an organization launched by Denis Hayes, who was the original national coordinator in 1970, took it international in 1990 and organized events in 141 nations. Earth Day is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network, and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year. Numerous communities celebrate Earth Week, an entire week of activities focused on environmental issues. In 2009, the United Nations designated April 22 International Mother Earth Day.

Let us live but one day at a time...

Flower Meadow


Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow


There are two days in every week about which we should not worry,
Two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.


One of these days is YESTERDAY with its mistakes and cares,
its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.
YESTERDAY has passed forever beyond our control.


All the money in the world cannot bring back YESTERDAY.
We cannot undo a single act we performed, we cannot erase
a single word we said... YESTERDAY is gone.


The other day we should not worry about is TOMORROW, with its
possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise, and poor performance.
TOMORROW is also beyond our immediate control.


TOMORROW’S sun will rise,
either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in TOMORROW, for it is as yet unborn.


This leaves only one day. TODAY 
Any person can fight the battles of just one day.
It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities,
YESTERDAY and TOMORROW that we break down.


It is not the experience of TODAY that drives us mad,
It is remorse or bitterness for something which happened YESTERDAY,
and the dread of what TOMORROW may bring.


Let us, therefore, live but one day at a time!

Just something to reflect on...

As I grew up, I've learnt that even the person who wasn't suppose to let you down, probably will.
 
 You'll have your heart 
bROken
 & you'll break others too...
 

 You'll fight with your best friend and you'll cry 'cause time is flying.
 
 So... take a lot of pics, laugh too much, forgive and love like you have 
never been hurt.
 
 Life comes with no guarantees, no timeouts and no second chances...
So live it to the f.u.l.l.e.s.t.
 
 Tell 
someone what he means to you, Dance in the rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, take chances, fall in love, live every moment...
 

 
Because every moment you spend, is a second chance for happiness :)

God Can



When you feel unlovable, unworthy and unclean,
When you think that no one can heal you,
Remember, Friend,
God Can.
When you think that you are unforgivable
For your guilt and your shame
Remember, Friend,
God Can.
When you think that all is hidden
And no one can see within
Remember, Friend,
God Can.
And when you have reached the bottom
And you think that no one can hear
Remember my dear Friend
God Can.
And when you think that no one can love
The real person deep inside of you
Remember my dear Friend,
God Does.

"All the children of the world should be lovin' each other wholeheartedly..."

Can You Feel It, by The Jacksons

"Can You Feel It" was a hit recording by funk and soul group The Jacksons, recorded in March 1980 and released on September 22, 1980 as the first track on their album Triumph.
Written by brothers Michael and Jackie, the song featured solo leads by Randy and Michael. Released as a single in 1981, the song reached #77 on the pop charts and number thirty on the R&B charts in United States, but reached number six in the UK and number two in the Netherlands in 1981.

The accompanying video, directed by Bruce Gowers and Robert Abel, was noted for its remarkable special effects created by Robert Abel and Associates. Michael created the video's concept, and Tito's sons Taj and Taryll appeared as extras. In 2001, it was voted one of the 100 best videos of all time, in a poll to mark the 20th anniversary of MTV. The title was also used for a 2009 greatest hits compilation

"Can You Feel It?" Lyrics

Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it!

If you look around
The whole world's coming together now yeah,
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it!
Feel it in the air
The wind is taking it everywhere yeah,
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it!

All the brothers of the world should be
Lovin' each other wholeheartedly.
Yes it's alright, take my message to your brother and tell him twice uh huh 
Spread the word who tried to teach the man who is hatin' his brother,
When hate won't do
'cause we're all the same 
Yes the blood inside of me is inside of you c’mon

Now tell me!

Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it!
Can you see what's going down, you can fill it in your bones

Every breath you take,
Is someone's death in another place yeah
Every healthy smile
Is hunger and strife to another child yeah
But the stars do shine
And promising salvation is near this time. Yeah yeah
Can you feel it now,
So brothers and sisters
Shall we know how.

Now tell me!
Can you feel it, tell me can you feel it, can you feel it!
Can you see what's going down, you can fill it in your bones

All the children of the world should be 
Lovin' each other wholeheartedly
Yes it's alright
Take my message to your brother and tell him twice uh huh
Take the news to the marchin' men
Who are killin' their brothers, when death won't do no no
Yes we're all the same
Yes the blood inside my veins is inside of you yeah yeah yeah yeah 

Now tell me!
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it!
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it!
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it!
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it! 
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it!
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it!

Just because...

can't simply wait for Monday, my usual MJ posting day (tagged as MJ Mondays) to post this beautiful clip; and because anyway as today is Friday, a  post-anything-day (Friday Free-days);  and because I'm just so missing Michael extra more ... (and just because,  I can always find an excuse to post any MJ'ism on any day I'd fancy to ^.^)

So here's The Eternal Love of my life;
