i love that song... You are my sunshine,
my only sunshine... you make me happy
when skies are gray
:-)
i struggle with seasonal depression, winter blues, cranium cobwebs, hijacked hormones... WHATEVER.
i feel tired and weak and, well, sad :-(
i hate feeling sad. really, REALLY hate it... which, of course, makes me sadder. grrrr.
this morning i was reading The Daniel Plan (Rick Warren) trying to do something positive... yea me. and that song came to my head but it was different this time...
I am your Sunshine
Your only Sunshine
I'll make you happy
When skies are gray
You'll always know, Child,
How much I love you
Please don't push My SON-shine away.
whoa. say that again...
I am your Sunshine
Your ONLY Sunshine
I'll make you happy
When skies are gray
You'll always KNOW, Child,
How much I love you
Please don't push My SON-shine away.
KNOW, not FEEL. know. i KNOW i am loved... i am strong... i can do this :-)
"Then Christ will make his home in your HEARTS as you TRUST in him.
Your ROOTS will grow down into God's love and KEEP you STRONG.
You have the POWER to UNDERSTAND as all God's people should...
God's love is wide enough to be everywhere - i am never alone :-)
God's love is long enough to last forever - His love is based on Who He is, not what i do or don't do. i cannot make God stop loving me :-)
God's love is deep enough to handle anything - nothing is deeper than His love for me. Beneath what feels like the bottom is the bedrock of God's love :-)
God's love is high enough to overlook my sin - it's all about my relationship to God through His son, Jesus. not rules, not regulations, not rituals, not religion - relationship :-)
You can EXPERIENCE the love of Christ even though it is too great to understand fully."
He is my Sunshine
My ONLY Sunshine
He'll make me happy
When skies are gray
I'll always KNOW, Lord,
How much You love me
I can't push Your SON-shine away.
OH HAPPY DAY!
and the sun is shining :-)
xoxo!
