Inspired In Christ To Brighten Our Thoughts
To Brighten Our Thoughts
don't let cloudy thinking dominate.
Give it a miss and think of something nice
you may be pleasantly surprised.
Leave it not late to venture out your gate
walking is great, try some for your health's sake.
It gives you energy and creates happy thoughts
peace like this cannot be sold or bought.
There's something about fresh air and peace that go together
we can have peaceful thoughts without measure.
If we shake things off and step out our door
sunny moments, let's have more.
There's something about sunshine that enters deep within
it makes windows in our soul and small victories to win
So next time something upsets you
and makes you feel blue
simply come out walking, that's what you should do.
It gives you a slice of life
it lessons cloudy thoughts and strife
this is no lie, give it a try.
When you're feeling bleak and peace you seek
this is a way you can find release.

Choose Life Over Sedentary(Modify Technology)
(Modify Technology)
Energy and happiness go together
to those who find, it becomes a treasure.
Sedentary lifestyle sets sets us up for feeling blue
reasons for living is what we should choose.
If we would find life, we need to open up to the light
just like the flowers do
thoughts change from old to new.
Long hours of sitting can break our back
they also cause us joy to lack.
Energy brings us to a new level
it also helps our thoughts to settle.
The saying we must spend energy to find energy proves true
this is the best for me and you.
Incorporate some activities into your day
life becomes more inviting this way.
All that technology, give it a break
yes give it a miss for happiness sake.
It's alright in it's place but beckons for more
more and more space and room for more.
That's no way to energize
and leaves no element of surprise.
It quenches our sense of venture
moments to treasure.
It can stifle our sense of creativity
and house those thoughts of negativity.
When we break that cycle, it makes us smile
come out in the sunshine for a while.
Make friends with nature
your peace will be greater.
Bring some activity into your home
look for ideas, let seeds be sown.
Seeds of life to brighten your interests
the power of choice, we must not conceal it.
But let it free so it can breathe
when practiced often, life we will see.
Yes there's more to life than technology and sitting down
things we can do that lesson frowns.
Let yourself be reintroduced to life
this will make you happier and lift your sights.

Making My Choices Now
Making My Choices Now
Some friends have really blessed me
Some others have caused me grief.
I’m calling the cards now so they can’t play hide and seek.
Yes some have brought me joy and some have brought me pain.
Until I saw the light, I’m precious in God’s eyes.
Most times they just thought of themselves
And left me on a shelf.
I don’t care if they make it or not
Now I have confidence, lots.
If they don’t get their act together
Jesus give me friends in good measure
To the ones I had who made me feel bad.
I’ve seen the Enemy’s ploys
For taking away my joy.
I’m so much wiser now
I’ve taken to the trowel
Weeding those who are lax
I’m giving them the sack.
If they don’t choose to be better
I’m still His Treasure.
Yes I am confident Now!

You Will Be Happier and Healthier
Don’t live by your friends choices. Make some of your own and stay
with those who make you feel good. Life’s too short for spending it
with the wrong people. Come against friendships that are lax and
teach them not to be slack. Maybe see them less often and answer
their texts less or wait before you respond. Human nature being
what it is, they may respect you more.
