Give Me Your Eyes-Brandon Heath



I have been looking for this video for 2 years. I could not remember the name of the song until it played on family radio in the car today. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Cheers.

Loving Cookies & Loving Life

This should be in a fortune cookie as it struck a cord in me when my 9 year old son made the statement before going to bed:

"Those Who Love Cookies, Loves Life."

It took some time before I understood the depth of this simple childlike saying. Cookies for him meant the advantages or enjoyments or elements or things life has to offer. Things that are for our enrichment or meant for us to enjoy. Cookies is the ideal in his world at this time. What is your current "Cookie"? Is it your job? Is it your children? Is it your parents? Is it someone who has supported you? Is it a good meal? Is it paid overtime? A new house? An "A" in a course you were taking?

We can go so much deeper with this but I think you get the idea. Life is about enjoying the things around you and being grateful for them. Don't take them for granted. All the good in our life is sweet and again, enjoyable. Loving your life is about loving everything in it, including yourself. Appreciate everything you have. Savor it. In so doing, you'll find, you love life.
