On December 19, 2019, I wrote the following:
"I never dreamed I would be trying to create a blog. After all, what do I have of interest that someone else would care to read about? However, for almost the past year and a half, I have awaken each morning with a song in my heart! It is as real as an alarm clock that wakes you up every morning. But I find these songs so much more pleasing than an alarm clock. They are songs of praise, faith and rejoicing. So many of the songs I have not heard or thought of in years and many are some of my favorites that I have loved over the years.
At first I did not really think about it. I simply thought it was nice but as time went on I began to realize that this really was happening every morning and now I have come to the realization that this is an amazing blessing from God. It is too good not to share! So, here I go, trying to write and share my good morning blessing with you! I hope you will enjoy my writing and sharing the "song of the day" as much as i enjoy waking each morning and receiving my blessing!"
Now, today, April 28, 2021, I am writing the 500th message. I never dreamed I would be able to continue writing each morning. I'm certainly not a writer and never have been. Actually, I never dreamed, I would be awaken each morning with a song. I truly consider it a blessing to wake up each day with a song in my heart! God has been so good to me. There have been days, when it is so easy to know exactly what I wanted to try to communicate. Other days not so much. There have been days when I thought it would be my last message and then I would receive a special message, text, phone call or something where the song has touched someone else more than it even touched me. Don't you just love when you are encouraged, especially today with all the negativity all around us?
The songs have brought back so many memories for me. I have been able to share special moments in my life. Often, the songs have brought a specific scripture to mind that I felt needed to be shared. Some songs make me remember the writer and the story behind their inspiration to write the song. Sometimes, the song is not one I have not heard too much and not familiar with or really don't remember but I know there was a reason it was my morning song.
You know, it's hard to have a bad day, when God wakes you up with a song! Good old hymns, gospel songs, songs or praise and worship. And to know so many of you have enjoyed, been blessed or encouraged by the post means so much to me. I don't know if there will be another 500 posts or not. I don't know if God will even wake me with a song tomorrow. But I am so very thankful He has blessed me for so long and in so many ways!
It's pretty special to wake to "It Is Well With My Soul" this morning. I have a couple of mornings in the past and shared my love for this song. memories of it being sung and the story behind the song. I pray you will be blessed hearing it today!
Thank you always for reading and I pray you will have an amazing day!
One of my favorite songs It is Well with My Soul! So thankful I can say that this mornin! I Love your blog. I can say I have smiled and some I have teared up, but I look forward every morning to reading. One day we will be reunited with our friends and Loved ones that have gone before us and that will be glorious’!Love you my Brother and keep writing !
