Memories of Music

Music by definition:Vocal or instrumental sounds possessing a degree of melody, harmony, or rhythm, has by far been a forefront definition for myself. I was aware of music before I was even born. I have a love for music that is embedded within my soul. The memories I have of my grandmother playing the piano,my mother,uncle ,aunt and grandfather singing songs with beautiful harmonization carries me through-even today.
There was a time win I was younger that 'The Poole Family' traveled about and sang at various church locations,revivals,and communities about the wonderful love of Jesus.
When some of those very familiar pieces of music are played-my memory takes over and I can see and hear those events again. No one could play like my grandmother-she would 'spice' the piano key changes up-to create a different sound effect.
Songs like-Hem of His Garment, He did it All for me,We have this moment,He looked Beyond my fault,are just a few examples of the songs they would sing.
I recently took the recording that the family has of "the Poole Family' Album that my mother had converted to a CD-and used that as my song I sung at church-He did it All for me.
The second verse my late grandmother had sung it as a solo- I sang along with her and harmonized to her beautiful voice as if she were right there with me playing and singing.

My grandmothers' inspiration and devotion to the Lord-has passed down among her children and the grandchildren as a witness to all of us. There are cousins that became pastors and other cousins that use their talents. The rest - the Lord has control over.
Myself-I was a prodigal daughter that returned and my life has the peace because of Him. Jesus continually Looked beyond my faults because He did it all for me I reached out and touched the Hem of His Garment for my soul was saved and healed. We have this moment -continually to live in that moment because life is ever changing -people are here then gone,families grow and people move away,and memories are what we have. Music lives within my family and myself. Jesus is the only way.

Celebrating Our Parents

If you are fortunate enough-like myself- that your parents are still with you on this earth. Tell them how much they mean to you. the sacrifices that they made for their children and the dedication that had. Yes- even say thank you to those parents who may have not given the best environment,nurturing,and a Godly upbringing. Those parents need to see the Heavenly Father through you. No matter what-we still have to abide by what He says.
I deeply love and adore my parents-I would do anything for them within my own little human power. I try to spend as much time as I can with them and go places with them. I know one day they will be in Heaven, and I will have to learn to be without them in this world.
Make sure that the parents you have know that you love them, and that God loves them too. Don't waste time being bitter,make time to be a witness. Don't let them be separated from you here, or they will not be with you in heaven if they are not saved.

I hope that every mother and father have had a wonderful Mother's and Father's Day :)

Keeping it cool

There has been a lot of events lately :) I have been working more over the last few months on trying to ~keep it cool~. This can range from the heat waves to the over abundance of work-i am thankful i have a job-to keeping it cool under pressure.
Sometimes we can all experience difficulty in both-just know that your not alone!
