Song for Today

I saw how unfair life is
Someone labors and the other enjoys the fruit
Someone takes the blame and the other goes free
Someone does the dirty work and the other basks in the gleam
Someone is misunderstood and the other is empathized with.

I complained, I ranted, I resisted such injustice
And I just ended up feeling depleted and rejected.

I recall a song"Give them all to Jesus"
And this is what I am gonna do...

How good it is to have the right song for what you are feeling...
Thank God for song writers!
Bless their hearts! :)

Let me share the song's lyrics-

"Are you tired of chasing pretty rainbows
Are you tired of spinning round and round
Wrap up all the shattered dreams of your life
At the feet of Jesus lay them down

CHORUS
Give them all
Give them all
Give them all to Jesus

Shattered dreams
Wounded hearts
Broken toys

Give them all
Give them all
Give them all to Jesus
And he will turn your sorrow into joy
He never said you’d only see sunshine
He never said there’d be no rain
He only promised a heart full of singing
About the very things that once caused pain."

Simple Pleasures

It finally rained today! My friend and I were so happy that we wore gum boots and went out sloshing in the flooded streets. Then we went to the park to play in the puddles and wet grass...it was so much fun! We squealed in delight...jumped and ran...we were almost oblivious to the surroundings...luckily it was dark! :)

This reminds me of the simple joys of life, timed perfectly by our sovereign Lord. I have been wanting to write down about the things I simply love for quite a long time....inspiration withers quickly and I am tight on time so I am just sharing in short the simple things I love:

1.Playing in the rains of course!
2.Sitting by the window with a hot cup of tea watching the rain dance outside.
3.When a child runs to me with her arms wide open and hugs me tight!
4. A note book well filled with my own handwriting(only if it's neat)
5.The feeling after you have spoken well in public.
6. Singing with your friends.
7.Seeing your hard work pay off.
