thunderstorms

tonight, big heavy storms break the tension and the Earth can breathe again

the world lets go, and there is more stillness and quiet before such awesome power

@wayhola, what a fun song. Are these song lyrics truly expressing what makes you happy in your real life?

[teresa]

Nah, they're from a song from a movie called, "The Sound of Music". I posted them as a joke.

I'll tell you some things that truly make me happy...

-Taking a hot bath and then laying in bed with the fan on.
-Being with friends having colorful conversations and jokes.
-Entertaining people with jokes, drawings and photoshops.
-Laying in bed watching movies/TV shows while drinking a bottle of pop.
-Eating fresh chives growing from the garden.
-Cuddling up with a body pillow while daydreaming about true love.
-Walking around the block at night while listening to music.
-Getting art requests from admirers of my work.

sounds heavenly!

I got a body pillow too....makes for nice cuddling. I'm still waiting for your image I requested of you having fun in the rain!!

I find joy when I see others living in love ,peace and ,happiness.
Only the love of Christ can provide enough love to fill the voids in our hearts.

 

[Take Heart]

○ reading real-life stories about how others have overcome their struggles and refused let their struggles overcome them.
○ when the sun ignites the trees [bark and leaves], grass, everything it touches when the sun is setting.
○ pink and purple sunsets
○ checking on my plants in the backyard and seeing how much they've grown so far.
○ car 'shopping' [browsing different car company websites]
○ Christian songs
○ when someone does a kind gesture not necessarily towards me but witnessing it happen to others
○ making someone smile
○ oh and food. Because food.

 

[Solomons Porch]

Thunderstorms
My animals (hearing them whistling and making music)
Cooking good food for others and watching them stuff themself miserable
Making someone smile and laugh
Seeing my mama and daddy laughing
My grown kids play fight
Seeing someone set free from a bondage in their life
Looking at pictures of cute babies (oh the innocence)
Reading Gods promises
Music, and more music
Fireplace in the winter
Fishing, and more fishing (catfish) and the fight they give
Ribeye steak cooked medium rare, fried oysters, F fries and salad

Yes, I'm still working on that. I was juggling some projects the last while and I'll try to finish it tomorrow. Creativity isn't something you can schedule.

@Wayholka Yes, agree with that one my friend. Besides, you were pretty busy creating some totally amazing new images for the singles forum!!

If you want to share any of those, please do so here

My cats. Thunder storms. Warm nights where the temperature is perfect and the sky is a light pink and the shadows are long. Dying my hair.

 

[Jeshu]

I admire Nick Vujicic he is a big strong and mighty man in our Lord, blessed beyond his wildest dreams, as should be, as such is our Lord. Jesus is The Name to be saved, don't serve anyone else!!! No matter the name

Also see this one it is greatest I love this brother very, very much and am so happy to know of his testimony. So True!!! It is mine as well.

The amazing love of Jesus Christ makes me very very happy.

My small, but wonderful church makes me happy (even though I have to drive 6 miles to go to church )

The fact that I have a roof over my head and a place to sleep....those things make me happy.

Having dinner with my mother every week....that makes me happy.

Having lunch with my pastor every week....that makes me happy.

Max Lucado books make me happy.

Joseph Girzone books make me happy.

Brennan Manning books make me happy.

Philip Yancey books make me happy.

Watching the Ten Commandments (Charlton Heston) makes me happy

Volunteering at my local public library makes me happy. Plus, I love being around books

Seeing smiles on the faces of young children makes me happy.

CF makes me happy.

Waking up at 5:00 in the morning makes me happy (although sometimes I am unable to wake up that early)

Participating in Bible study makes me happy. I love discussing small and obscure details about the Bible.

I attend Bible studies on Sunday nights, Wednesday nights and Thursday nights.

During the past month, God has been showing me the following things:
(1) God is a good, loving Father
(2) God has been showering me with His amazing love
(3) Through Thursday night Bible study and through my church, God has been showing me that my Christian faith must be put into action through loving the people around me.

Pastor Andy Stanley's "Brand New" sermon series makes me happy

Seeing my Son free from the bondage of a dysfunctional mother.
Watching God restore his life ,and blessing him with the ability to buy a house and land.
Watching him care for his animals,and understanding why he enjoys raising them.
My Sons animals love him unconditionally, and he is finally realizing I do too.

The things that fill me with most pride are volunteering at the church library, moderating here, and donating blood.

The frustrating part of it all is that those are volunteer activities, and I really wish I could find paid employment that I enjoyed as much.
