You Are My Sunshine

I can't stop my tears after reading this.  We also have the power to heal others.  The power of God is in our tongue. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

      One day, 3-year old Michael wished for a baby sister.

       So when his mother got pregnant with a baby girl, the little Michael was delighted. Everyday, he'd rub his mother's tummy and sing to his baby sister, You are my sunshine, You are my sunshine, You make me happy, when stars are grey…

       But when the baby was born, there were complications. The baby was in critical condition.

       Little Michael waited at home, wondering why his mother and his baby sister weren't coming home yet.

       A few days later, the doctor told the mother that the baby may not last long. The mother decided to bring Michael to the ICU and see his baby sister before she died.

       She knew it was against the ICU rules, but she knew she had to do it. She brought in little Michael and let him stand beside his very sick baby sister.

       That was when the Head Nurse saw Michael and shouted, "Children are not allowed here!"

       But before they could pull him out of the room, little Michael sang to his baby sister, You are my sunshine, You are my sunshine. You make me happy, when stars are grey, You never know dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away…

       Immediately, the baby grew calm. Her heart rate, which was abnormally fast, slowed down.

       The Head Nurse noticed what was happening and said, "Little boy, whatever you're doing, keep doing it. Something is happening to the baby!"

       Michael kept singing to his sister. And everyday, she got better. Until she got totally well.

       Because little Michael used words of honor to bless his sister.

My Quotes of the Day - servanthood

"Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as you ever can."

John Wesley

5 Simple Ways to Maintain Momentum

By Tom Holladay


When you're feeling down, look up and adopt these everyday healthy habits to grow with God.

1. Pray for the first two minutes. The first two minutes of what? The first two minutes of everything! The first two minutes of your day, the first two minutes after you get in the car, the first two minutes at work. It is amazing how staying in a dialogue with God about everything will help you to stay connected to him.

2. Stop and listen. Staying connected to God means maintaining a conversation with God, which means it is as important to listen as it is for you to talk. Try asking God a question about a decision you are facing and then just listen for a moment. Blaise Pascal, the philosopher and mathematician, said, "All human evil comes from this, man's being unable to sit still in a room."

3. Put God's truth where you can see it. The Bible is God's love letter to you, filled with truth about everything in your life. As you hear or read a verse of Scripture that is meaningful to you, let it become meaningful beyond that moment. Write it down on a card, and put that card where you'll see it often. This writing the words of God on your heart, by the way, is how God directed Jewish families to learn his truth; look it up in Deuteronomy 6.

4. Spend time daily in spiritual reflection. A great way to grow deeper is through a daily devotion. And I know one intimately that I can recommend. I teach a daily podcast called "DriveTime Devotions." This 10-minute podcast devotional goes through the New Testament, one chapter a week and one book of the Bible at a time. You can find "DriveTime Devotions" on iTunes or at saddlebackfamily.com/mediacenter/drivetime. I would be honored to know that you are tuning in and allowing me to help you build some good habits.

5. Tell God, "Thank you." I've found that one of the most important habits for staying connected to God is to establish an attitude of gratitude. Telling God "Thank you" throughout the day completely changes my perspective and refreshes my sense of connection with him.
Here's my challenge for you: Try just one of these habits this week, and watch what God does in your life. Keep it going for two weeks, and you'll see him do even more. By the time you've done it for six weeks, that one change in your life will be an established habit, keeping you moving up even when the escalator is headed down.
