Birthday Reflections: Life is a Flower

It's my birthday and i'll cry if i want to, laugh if i want to, smile if i want to...  ahhaa..

Bloggin on a happy feeling so this post will be relatively light-hearted! ;) I'm so blessed with friends and many loving wishes for my birthday that it just lifts my mood....

The song I'm feeling tonight is Ace of Bace's Life is a Flower...
Why? Life... is beautiful,... yet fragile. We long for more beauty... yet we did not realise that each of us have our own beauty. Every flower is beautiful, regardless of its colour, size, or petal. Even broken petals can be beautiful. So Life - is a Flower. I like the lyrics... Smile and the world will smile with you... and "live for the light"...it is great to be free - WHat is this freedom? The Freedom to pursue life, to be free from sin... to be free from the darkness. This is all culminated in being close to God, because God is Light.



We live in a free world I whistle down the wind
Carry on smiling
And the world will smile with you
Life is a flower
So precious in your hand
Carry on smiling
And the world will smile with you

When every race is run
And the day is closing in
I don't care about the world
I'm living for the light
Don't cry for me today, ah-ah ah...  (chorus)

I cannot be your judge
Mr. jailer is your host
He's keeping you inside
And hides you from the world
No catcher in the rye
Can help you from yourself (Chorus)

Please mr. agony
Release them for a while
Learn them the consequences of
Living without life

(Chorus)
(repeat & fade)

Anyway, found another cool happy song by Ace of Base (such an old band by now...)


Romans 13:11-14 "The Day Is Near"

11 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.[c]
