Once Again I LOVE SMACKSY

This is the same blog I'm obsessed with, and here's why: 
This is a post form a couple days ago. I've been meaning to repost it but haven't gotten around to it. Lisa's  (the blog owner) toddler son is the first one to speak in the dialogue that follows.


"Mom. Your birthday was in September."

"That's right."

"When's the next birthday?"

"Well let's see... MeeMee's is in January."

"Someone else has a birthday before MeeMee."

"Who?"

"Jesus. It's called Christmas, Mom."


Isn't that so sweet. I wish that every child could know that. Sometimes, with all the rush and busyness of Christmas we all forget this great message. We all forget that there IS a birthday to be celebrated. Christmas has been so busy nowadays that we sometimes want it to be over.


And sometimes, just sometimes,


We need a little 4 year old to remind us that Christmas is Jesus' birthday.

Another Wonderful Blogger

So, I've talked about Smacksy before in the past. In this post and in this one. Well, today I'll be talking about a different blog. Or blogger to be exact.
Mandy. Mandy runs the blog She Breathes Deeply. She is a wonderful christian who enjoys doing christian yoga. Just today, she posted a video about Holy Yoga. This is an enspiring message and i urge you to read it.



Thank you Mandy so much. This video has just made my day.

When I'm sad or weary I think going back to this video will help a lot. I can reflect on my life and ask myself if I'm living for the Lord. If not, then maybe that's the reason why I'm not successful. These thoughts remind me of LOVE IS HERE by TENTH AVENUE NORTH. Here are the lyrics and even reading them might help you feel like you have less of a burden to carry. I know it makes me feel that way.


Come to the waters, you who thirst and you'll thirst no more.
Come to the Father, you who work and you'll work no more.
And all you who labor in vain and to the broken and shamed:

Love is here.
Love is now.
Love is pouring from
His hands, from His brows.
Love is near, it satisfies.
Streams of mercy flowing from His side.
Cuz love is here.

Come to the treasure, you who search and you'll search no more.
Come to the lover you who want and you'll want no more, no.
And all you who labor in vain to the broken and shamed,

Love is here. 
Love is now. 
Love is pouring from 
His hands, from His brows. 
Love is near, it satisfies. 
Streams of mercy flowing from His side.

And to the bruised and fallen,
Captives, bound, and broken hearted.

He is the Lord,
He is the Lord,

By His stripes He's paid our ransom
From His wounds we drink salvation

He is the Lord,
He is the Lord.

Love is here. 
Love is now. 
Love is pouring from 
His hands, from His brows. 
Love is near, it satisfies. 
Streams of mercy flowing from His side.
Streams of mercy flowing from His side.
Cuz love is here.
Love is here.
