This is my favorite song.....EVER. It's really a simple song with an awesome message. It's just a little reminder that Jesus cares for me, that He loves me. He loves me so much that He wrote a love song for me. This love song began at Calvary. ♥ That amazes me...my God amazes me...His love amazes me!
By the way: Mac Powell of Third Day... well, he's pretty amazing, too!
Do you ever find yourself complaining about something then you look around and see someone in a worse condition than you? When I do this, I always try to remember what my Dad always says: "No matter how bad your situation is, you can always look around and see someone who is worse off than you." It kind of like that saying, "I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet."
I'm not really sure what all that has to do with this video, except that many times we take for granted what we have when there are others around us who are without. If you have a minute, watch this video, and listen to the words of this song. This is Gordon Mote. Gordon is an extraordinary musician. When you first listen it may seem as though you're listening to just another piano player. Not so. Gordon was born blind, and he first started playing the piano when he was only 3 years old. Today he is one of the most sought after piano players in Nashville. He has worked with Kenny Chesney, Braid Paisley, Alan Jackson & many others. He also travels with Bill Gaither and the Gaither Homecoming tours. This is a man with a talent that is truly God-given. I'm blessed everytime I hear him.

This video will show you what an awesome musician this man is (best part 2:25-3:25). He's not only an excellent piano player, he's a great singer, too.
Watch this video to see how good he really is (he starts playing at 3:14).
This is one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite groups. The song is Slow Fade by Casting Crowns.
Oh be careful little eyes what you see. Oh be careful little eyes what you see. For the Father up above is looking down in love. Oh be careful little eyes what you see.
We used to sing this little song in Sunday school when I was a little girl. I like how this group took a simple children's song and used it to tell us what we (should) already know, that things don't just happen in an instant or overnight. The things we do every day, no matter how small, will eventually lead to something bigger. It's up to each of us individually to control every thought, every word and every action. We must think about how our thoughts, words and actions may affect others and ourselves. We may think that what we do now has no impact on anything else, but as the song says: People never crumble in a day.
