Out of the picture?

Do you enjoy looking at your stack of photos? Well, I do. I mean even those old prints where you see a skinny or healthier version of yourself with a big smile and wearing outmoded duds ('could be the "in" thing during that time, hehe).

Every time I see 'em when I'm sorting out some stuff at home, I always find myself sitting in one corner leisurely going through each of the photos, contemplating with a silly smile. As I finish browsing them, you'll see in my thought bubble these words.. "It's such a joy seeing myself with my family and/or friends in those Kodak Moments, lol!"

What if I'm not in any of those pictures? Or maybe I'm not even present in any of those events? Do you think I'd be keen to go through 'em over & over whenever I catch sight of 'em? Well, I could still be interested, if those in the photographs are important people in my life. But still, it's really different when you've actually witnessed those captured moments. Otherwise, there's just nothing to reminisce! =)

One time I asked myself these questions, "Do I also picture God included in my life?" "Were there any instances that I took Him out of the picture?"

Okay, I don't wanna dwell in the past. I'm glad that I can picture myself enjoying in His presence, His blessings, and His smile. And that's through my families, friends, church, and workplace. It's my prayer that everyone shares the same experience. Because if we take Him out of the picture, it's gonna be just like an overcast photograph.

They say a picture should tell a story.. it speaks a thousand words. Likewise, including God in our lives would paint both our life stories and His story. Just like a fascinating, full of life photo.

Smile as if like you're being photographed! :)

Thanks for reading. G'nyt and God bless y'all!

When I See You Smile

Sometimes I wonder
How I'd ever make it through,
Through this world without having you
I just wouldn't have a clue

'Cause sometimes it seems
Like this world's closing in on me,
And there's no way of breaking free
And then I see you reach for me

Sometimes I wanna give up
I wanna give in,
I wanna quit the fight
And then I see you, Jesus
And everything's alright,
everything's alright

When I see you smile
I can face the world, oh oh,
you know I can do anything
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light, oh oh,
I see it shining right through the rain
When I see you smile
Oh yeah, Jesus when I see you smile at me

Oh God there's nothing in this world
that could ever do
What a touch of your hand can do
It's like nothing that I ever knew

And when the rain is falling
I don't feel it,
'cause you're here with me now
And one look at you Jesus
Is all I'll ever need,
you're all I'll ever need

Chorus

Sometimes I wanna give up
I wanna give in,
I wanna quit the fight
And then I see you Jesus
And everything's alright,
everything's alright
