They Can't Take That Away From Me
You know God knows our hearts desires - whether big or small. I was headed home from taking the kids to school this morning and listening to my usual Christian music station. I don't change the channel much except to listen to Focus on the Family or other such programs. Today I did and came across fun and light music I haven't really heard in years because I have been in the Christian music world. As though I was hoping out-loud, I had a deep desire and moment of grief all wrapped up into one. With no money for frills but a love for music that I can't be a part of now, I wanted some way to enjoy it again. Welcome to the 21st Century - blogs can have music, fun and free music for me or others to listen to - right on my blog page!!! What an enjoyable discovery and a moment of realizing (as I start to cry writing this) that God knows my most intimate desires!! It may not mean much to explain this desire to anyone else but God understood and gave me a ray of sunshine today. I've barely touched a piano in months and grew my nails out even for fun! A little awkward doing gardening with nails! Only this week have I listened to my favorite choir music, Brooklyn Tabernacle. Little by little, I see that God knows my heart and what I love and in due time, He has a plan for me to enjoy it again. Reminds me of a song and they...."Can't Take That Away From Me." If you have time, take a listen to the musical gift God gave me today - my blog music player on the side-bar, handpicked and created with a handful of music that brings me such joy to hear today (all for free). God knows the hearts desires that bring you joy too! Be encouraged!

Joyce,
ReplyDeleteMusic is only one of your many gifts. I think the most important one is your ministry to others. You have affected many lives, mine included. I know the Lord will have something special for you everyday. God is and will continue to bless you.
Love,
Dad
Beloved Joyce and family,
ReplyDeleteTruly miss being refreshed from your beautiful smiles and sweet spirit.
The handling of things can be done in many ways, doing it in love and gentleness is the adecuate way for someone who has being faithful to the task. God is faithful and a God of justice, and he will have the last word. Thank you for your continual ministry of love and dependence on God. Dignity is a precious trait known to just a few and you my dear sister exemplify it at its best. Love you,
Beatriz
