Beautiful

Beautiful is an early morning sunrise on a clear day.
Beautiful is rain on a field that hasn’t seen it for days.
Beautiful is sand that drains this rain and there are no floods
Beautiful is seeing a new born baby for the first time.
Beautiful is remembering the days before you realize how today is better than yesterday
Beautiful is your heart finds a footing in a new friends heart.
Beautiful is a life that isn’t perfect and yet you live it anyway
Beautiful is a life that has you and me in it as the maestros in the symphony of the song that you had this morning.
Beautiful is a life that makes life happy even if there is no beauty in our eyes

"Seemingly insignificant acts of obedience often set in motion the greatest forces of heaven." -- Brett Costigan, minister

When have you passed up an opportunity to obey the voice of God because you thought the request was insignificant? You may have ignored the chance to greet a stranger or to help your elderly neighbor with her yard work because you figured someone else could take care of that.

You may even think that you are too special to pay attention to behind-the-scenes details, so you'll wait for a more important task. Well, today was a nice day! i set aside my agenda, my opinions, and my fears. Made time at the beginning of the day to ask God how He can take part in changing lives.

Then go for it! Act on what God says. Believed that my obedience has the power to make a difference.Not take lightly the task God has given me and the wonderful people around my little life. The assignment may seem small, but it may alter another person's life. Who knows how the Lord will use an encouraging smile, a helping hand, or an offer to pray?

It is all simple Little just wants anything and somebody who makes him smile and laugh.

TRIBUTE TO YOU MY DARLING

There you go…
You go again
Racing through in my mind
And I am overwhelmed
I cannot contain it anymore
I have to give tale of my thoughts for you
You borrowed and lend me
Your stories, clothes, animals,
Sunsets and sunrises,
Meadows and mirages
For all my stories
You afforded credence to my scruffy ideas
Steadiness to my wobbly handwriting
I love you.

From the cracks on my window
To the crevices on my wall
A sure reflection shows
All mornings are like a painting of word,
Sunsets glitter with glimmer of a writer’s optimism
I just needed a little inspiration to get me going,
A message to strengthen the frailty of my resolve
A little smile to liven up a message from
One who cares to color my days with words
Letters. Is all I got from you.
I love you!

I would all be gloom without rainbow skies
You have loved me with loyalty
No wonder I am now a royal
Just because of letters and punctuations
You have entrusted me with the untold tales
Mysteries of creations hidden in ages
Concealed in the hearts of the weak and devious minds
Just for me to tell the world their stories
What a love! I have in you.

All my literary accolades
Are wrought in your inspiration
I wait for another moment with you
My desk is idle
My pen dry
My paper spotless
I want to write again!

'Serendipity Moments'

We all face these forces from time to time -- especially now, in a time of world crisis over money, climate, fuel, and food. We are fragile creations trying to hold on to life in adverse circumstances.

I believe God created us to grow, to thrive, in the face of adversity. God gives us the extra grounding and nourishment that we need to hang on in the face of harsh circumstances. I see it in my friends who have conquered the storms of life upheavals. And I remember the scriptures which promise that God is with us in the face of crisis and adversity. Thank you, God, for your presence with us, no matter what we face.

Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you; and through the rivers,
they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.
For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.

- Isaiah 43:1b-3a (NRSV

DEDICATED DJ RISES IN RADIO

Don't be afraid to start at the bottom.
With more than 20 years in radio, Bill DeVille has paid his dues in an elusive industry. He's now host of "Musicheads" on Minneapolis Public Radio's The Current (thecurrent.org).
After a nine-month program at Brown College's Broadcasting Program, DeVille sent out 150 resumes to radio stations -- not realizing that he knew one of the station's program directors, a former neighbor who would help him land his first job. DeVille explained, "In radio, it's not what you know, it's who you know."
"I started out at a country station in my hometown -- Sioux Falls, South Dakota." He worked four hours on Sundays. "I had no interest in it but wanted to start my career and knew I had to start from the very bottom."
Over the next decade, DeVille's career ramped up. "I'm doing a live radio show in the Twin Cities. I love it."
DeVille's main tip for those just starting out? Don't do what he did, when it comes to education. "I recommend getting a four-year degree and doing college radio." That's not the only route, however. "Or volunteer at a public radio station. With all the Internet opportunities, it's not as far-fetched as it seems."
Radio show, host, over 20 years of experience, median annual salary: $56,540
