Live out each day..........

Live out each day like it might be you last
Don't plan for the future, don't hide from the past
Smile at strangers and you might change a life
Offer kisses and hugs even in pain and strife

Don't count all your money, count all your friends
Don't look to the dark side as a means to the end
Shake off your stresses, your worries, your cares
This life is a challenge so take on the dares

Don't tell people your heartaches, tell them your dreams
Let them know that life can be better than it seems
Don't number your problems, number the stars
Gaze up to heaven and see the distance isn't far

Don't let your whole life be ruled by your fear
Cherish the memories of all things you hold dear
Don't hold back the tears as they fall from your eyes
Don't give into sadness or fall for the lies

You can fly with the angels, you can sing in the night
Don't let your head doubt what your heart knows is right
Whisper a secret to the dawn of the day
Look to your loved ones to show you the way

Don't run from the truth, but accept it with pride.
Don't keep all your feelings sheltered inside
Let your silver turn gold, let your hopes all come true
Pray your joys will be many and your sorrows be few

Let the glow in your heart reflect in your soul
So you know what it's like to have and to hold
Til death do you part, may you treasure the sights
That this life had to offer, its enchantments and delights

Search for contentment in each person you meet
Let yourself find freedom, don't just stand on your feet
Dance, be at ease, for you've got just one life to live
Put your heart on the line and give it all you can give.

Christmas is approaching........

Today we put up the church Christmas decorations which was so comical, we had such a giggle and really enjoyed ourselves. It wasn't until I got home that it sank in - it is almost Christmas. Can you believe that we are already in December? Chris and I led our last youth cell till 2008 this evening and it was hilarious with the kids. They are just the greatest bunch of young people anyway, but playing games such as twister with them was just side splitting! Talking to them about Christmas and this time of year was just so thought provoking, they say what the usual teenagers say (actually what the majority of people say!) how they're looking forward to the food, presents and dressing up, on the other hand just simple comments like 'I am looking forward to the carol service', 'I am looking forward to spending time with my family' and 'I am looking forward to spending time away from the commercial Christmas' (how huge is that for a 13 year old to say!!!) Com...

Deck the Halls..........

I decided this afternoon that I was being miserable and completely scrooge-like in my approach to Christmas!!!! Although I have done my Christmas shopping, I have cheated and done most of it on the Internet so have not entered into the Christmas spirit of it!!!  Because of uni work and hospital visits I have not really thought about Christmas and I haven't written any Christmas cards because I have decided my money is better given to charity where it can make some difference. So it was very funny when I came home to see my Christmas decorations up!! My Mum and brother apparently had a fantastic time doing so - especially as it meant Jack could put the star on the tree without any arguments!!!   To make things even better we sat down together and watched the Christmas film 'Deck the Halls' which is so funny!!!  We all had such a giggle and I now feel truly Christmassy!!! Roll on the 25th December!!!

Isaiah 35........

The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God. Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you." Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert. The burning sand will become a pool, the thirsty ground bubbling springs. In the haunts where jackals once lay, grass and reeds and papyrus will grow. And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not j...
