Morning Song

Morning Song

"Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives." Ps. 90:14

   Music, is God's gift to reach the heart of all people. Putting sweet sounds to 'heart-felt' words brings everything we know and feel to life. Every day seems to have a song; some days are fun filled days where we feel giddy and silly. Some are serious, hard-working days where the song is right to the point. Irregardless, this heart for music and singing poetic words to it comes from our great Composer and Author of life - our God. 

  I know the Word of God says that He spoke the world into existence; I wonder when He made us if maybe He was singing a sweet tune as well. After all, we were created to worship. Isaiah 43:21 "The people I formed for Myself, that they may set forth My praise [and they shall do it]."  On a little silly/side note, I wonder what tune God sang when he made you and myself. Oh, I think I could see the smile on His face with a chuckle too. 
 I was reading a book by one of my favorite authors (Karen Mains); she attributed to a book while writing a chapter on singing unto the Lord. She pulled this quote from the novel; Romona. Describing a custom from a devoted Mexican family. 



"...As the first ray reached the window, he would throw the casement wide 
open, and standing there with bared head, strike up the melody of the sun-
rise hymn...At the first dawn of light the oldest member of the family
arose, and began singing some hymn familiar to the household. It  was 
the duty of each person hearing it to immediately rise, or at least sit up
in bed, and join in singing, and the joyous sounds pouring out of the house
were like the music of the birds in the fields at dawn. The hymns were usually
invocations...and the melodies were sweet and simple."

 Every morning as the referenced scripture above says; I want to pull back the curtains of my life and gaze up into the SON and sing a lovely HYMN OF PRAISE to Him- always to the end of my life. I believe this would reformat our minds and emotions thus lightening our spirits giving great strength and joy to achieve all God has planned for us. 

  Bless you today, may His Song fill your soul abundantly! With you showing forth the praises of Him, Who indeed has called us all out of darkness into a glorious light!

Psalm 33:3 "Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully [on the strings] with a loud and joyful sound."

FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES

7 FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES Out of desperation creativity is birthed. I hope to add on to this post through the years. Churches love to give to dad's on Father's Day; sometimes this can be redundant and or expensive. A few short years ago we stepped out of the Evangelistic & Pioneer work to take a small church that is just great and out of the box. So, of course budget is minimal and I am 'it' when it comes to holiday decor and gifting ideas & doing them. The 4 gifts that my family and I put together are as follows:                       POPCORN/CANDY/MOVIE  We placed microwave popcorn, candy bar and a special Father's Day poem inside a popcorn bag.  FRAMED ART FROM LOCAL ARTIST/MINISTER  (Rev. Paul Gray)  MADE THIS INTO A FRAME & ADDED A PEN.                                             MINI GIFTS WRAPPED IN A HANKIE Pocket knife, Voice of the Martyrs Pendant  & candy! Al

LET US TRUST THE PROCESS OF PRUNING

Did you ever read this verse in John 15:2 and think, "that's extreme, can't we just hold onto these extra branches that grew once and bore amazing, fruit?" I have definitely !   Then life happens! In that life, we make a decision to dig deeper in our relationship with Jesus Christ. Yet, as we do, we face obstacles (or that's what we called them) that challenged us to trust Jesus to do what He wills in our lives.  I believe this place is a milestone in the timeline of our lives. Will we continue to walk ever so close to the Lord, realizing as we do, He will prune us? Will we desire to be producers of His fruit and life flow through us? Many of us realize that this means more obstacles, cuts, bleeding, times of dormancy and simple hurt.  This is when the milestone comes; will we accept this pruning and be fruitful or just become branches that become brittle, and ragged?  A lot of questions to ponder, but I feel God wants to use each and everyone of His children in o

Thank You For Asking

(c)Daneille Gray Snowden 2022 Today, I was deeply touched in my heart when a dear friend asked how my husband was. I did not mention it first, out of the blue; she asked about something dear to my heart. This wasn't the first time as she has  asked about different matters in my life several times. May I tell you how that made me feel? It made me feel cared for, loved and set back how someone cares intensely about me and my life. How often do you personally experience such care and interest from others? And, as I ask myself this too; how often do we reach out and ask others how they are? When people as a whole reach out in such a way, we see the creation power of God as hearts are connected to one another and a strong foundation is beginning to be built for a lasting relationship.  I love it when I hear conversations in church  or in my home when I  listen to their questions of wanting to learn of others situations, experiences, needs and even joys. The questioner is totally focused
