songs and memories

funny how a song
can conjure up memories.

i can be driving down the road,
a song will come on the radio
and memories will come flooding
over me.

good & bad the memories
are usually pretty strong.

music
has that ability.

to take me away.

this is why at church
when i am worshipping
the music is what brings my
heart in to complete surrender.
i am open and ready to hear His word.

music
has that ability.

there are a few songs
that are just so lovely
that when i hear them
i have to stop what i am doing
and just
sigh & smile
at the beauty
and the warm feeling
that comes over me.

two of the songs
right off the top of my head?

i started singing this
little song to my
grandson when he was quite small.
when i think of a song to sing to him,
this is what i always think of!

he brings me sunshine!

the other day my daughter
posted on facebook a video
my 4 year old grandson singing this song!

it made me smile!
such joy.
what a memory to hold on to!

i went shopping the other day
this sign was in a gift shop.
i hurried and snapped a photo
before the lady could tell me not to! :)

this song;
what can i say?
when i hear this song
a warm feeling washes over me.

it is such a perfect song.

the song evokes
the kind of attitude

that. i. strive. for. every. day!

yes, the song sums it up for me:

and i think to myself what a wonderful world!!!


have a lovely friday my friends~
& be blessed.

It is indeed a wonderful world my friend, and how special that you got to see a video of your little grandson singing it for you :) It's the moments like that that are so very special. You Are My Sunshine is also a good one. As I love books, I also love music, and can't imagine either one not being in my life. The world would be a poorer place, that's for sure!

Songs bring back memories! I love Mac Davis 'You Gotta STOP and SMELL the roses!' John Denver, so many good memories.
GRANDS are the BEST, aren't they??

So many songs. So many memories. And now I am transported back to my own memory of that song.
