JOY INCREASING!

Happy First Day of Spring! 

Memphis has flowers and our snow has dissipated! (Pradip pic)

Just the thought of springtime brings me JOY!

In every season.....winter, spring, summer, fall, ordained by God;

Focus on Him. 

Lean in to others in the "church."

Result = JOY 

Think increasing JOY!

Come let us sing for "JOY to the Lord"! (Psalm 95:1a) for "all my springs of joy are in you." (Psalm 87:7)

Everlasting JOY!

🎶MUSIC🎶 OF THE HEART❤️

Who writes the music of your heart?

God has a song for each of us! Some are "hymns we claim as our own!

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing personally comes to my mind.

Who writes the 🎶 music 🎶 of your heart? 

Allow Father God to teach you some melodious sonnet of life, and health and peace regardless of circumstances He has allowed!. (O For A Thousand Tongues to Sing)

Allow His words in His melody (by His design) allow you to learn the tune, and not be dismayed  by the "rests" He has allowed. 

Music from the heart is 🎶Music🎶 to my ears!

WARBLING WEDNESDAY!

Following yesterday's focus on listen and silent as important in one's spiritual life, I started my day humming a tune found in my very old Cokesbury Hymnal. 

Think early 20th Century.......copyright 1923---cost 30¢.

I'm assuming it was originally Gena and Pap's, my Adams connection, who went to the Methodist Church in KY as did my parents. I can't read music but I remember those tunes.

The one i've been humming throughout my day is "Open My Eyes, That I May See." Why? "Open my ears that I may hear." (v.2) Think actively listen in order to hear and heed truth. 

The chorus' 1st line for all 3 verses mentions 

Silently, now I wait for Thee, Ready my God, Thy will to see; 

v.1     Open my eyes, illumine me,  Spirit Divine!

v.2     Open my ears, illumine me,   Spirit Divine!

v.3     Open my heart, illumine me,  Spirit Divine!
