Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there! Mothers play such an important role in every childs life so therefore this is a very special day...at least to me it is.

Mommy

She’s an angel,
So gentle and meek.
She’s as beautiful and sweet
As a melodious creek.
She smiles like the sunshine;
Brings warmness to your heart.
Though she’s often taken for granted
I’ll never forget the seeds that
She has planted-
For here tenderness and care
Can soothe a heart in despair.
No matter what comes our way;
Whatever the tragedy that comes to pass-
Nothing will ever surpass
The love of my mother
And her gentle guiding hands.

Living With Heaven in Mind

Wow! Today was certainly an interesting day. I am way too sensitive for my liking! Well, anyways...there is this song that I absolutely love by Dan Adkins. It explains very well what I feel as I am attending this secular college. Here are the lyrics.

(Chorus)
I'm living with heaven in mind
It's the best way of livin that you will ever find.
Now, my heads not in the clouds
But I'm not ashamed, I'm proud to say
I'm livin with Heaven in mind.

(Verse 1)
In this world we're so misunderstood,
They say we're so Heavenly minded
That we're no earthly good.
They say just live for today
But no matter what they say,
Still I'm livin with Heaven in mind.

(Chorus)
I'm living with heaven in mind
It's the best way of livin that you will ever find.
Now, my heads not in the clouds
But I'm not ashamed, I'm proud to say
I'm livin with Heaven in mind.

(Verse 2)
Heaven's hope is the message I bring
'Cause we're in the world, not of it,
It's a temporary thing.
And I want to make it clear
That my home is not down here
So I'm livin with Heaven in mind.

(Chorus)
I'm living with heaven in mind
It's the best way of livin that you will ever find.
Now, my heads not in the clouds
But I'm not ashamed, I'm proud to say
I'm livin with Heaven in mind.

I'm livin with Heaven in mind.

This song means so much to me. It was written by Dan Adkins who passed about 4 years ago. He used to travel around to baptist churches here in the US. He came to our church just before he died of a heart attack. He had made such an impact on my life...all these years I regret the fact that I was too shy to go up and meet him and let him know what an encouragement he was to me in my life.
