My Rainy Day

Shaun Bradford
So dark and dreary.

Today is one of those days when I wish I could cancel my appointments and crawl back in bed and watch a few episodes of “Matlock”, “Perry Mason” or “Murder She Wrote.” Y’all, this rain sounds so calming. There’s no way I should be working today. I should be casually dozing off.

On another note– Boy do I miss my grands! On days like this, we would have been watching “In The Heat of the Night” or the “Price is Right” until our stories came on. We would also have the front door or the windows open so we could smell the rain. Y’all, there’s nothing like the smell of rain when it first hits the dirt! It smells sooo good. Listen, don’t judge me. I’m a country girl.☺️

Yeah… Those were the days.

Okay, enough reminiscing and wishing. Let me get back to work.

Hope you are enjoying your day!♥️

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford
Know that you are safe in God’s hands.

There is a certain calmness and peace that comes with knowing we are in God’s hands. Not saying we will never experience the random anxiety, worry, or fear. However, when we do, it never lasts long.

Y’all, somehow, God has a way of dispatching His angels to comfort us at the exact right moments. When I tell you there is nothing comparable to His love, mercy, and grace. Listen, there is none like it!

Right now I am hearing the song, “Safe in His Arms,” by Rev. Milton Brunson & The Thompson Community Singers.

Safe in His Arms
Lyrics: Musixmatch

Because the Lord is my shepherd
I have everything I need
He lets me rest in the meadow’s grass
And He leads me besides the quiet stream

He restores my failing hands [health]
And helps me to do what honors
That’s why I’m safe

That’s why I’m safe
That’s why I’m safe
Safe in His arms

When the storm of life is raging
And the billows roll
So glad He shall hide me
Safe in His arms

So glad, He shall hide me
Safe in His arms

Wishing a blessed Sunday. Rest in God knowing you are safe in His arms.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Let It Snow

Shaun Bradford

When I think of the winter holidays, I think of the perfect winter setting. You know, the kind you see on holiday movies—the couple, the cozy fireplace, the plush blanket, hot chocolate with marshmallows and peppermint sprinkles, beautiful snow falling, and “Let it Snow” by Boyz II Men—not Dean Martin—playing in the background. It’s what you think of too, right?! Laughing. Although my reality looks nothing like my perfect holiday setting, I can still enjoy the soulful sounds of Boyz II Men singing “Let It Snow.”

Let It Snow by Boyz II Men featuring Brian McKnight
Lyrics: MusixMatch

It′s another Christmas holiday It’s a joyous thing, let the Angels sing ′Cause we’re together

We got a thing, can’t let it slip away No, go outside, it′s raining sleet When our bodies meet I don′t care about the weather

Let it snow, let it snow, outside it’s cold But the fire′s blazin’ so, baby, let it snow Let it snow, yeah Let it snow, let it snow

Come over here and help me trim the tree I wanna wrap you up, baby Then you′ll see You’re the only present I need

There′s so much more Waiting for you in store From this precious day, I can gladly say There’s no place that I’d rather be

I know, you′ve found my everything Come a little closer God must have sent you down from Heaven

Let it snow, let it snow Outside it′s cold But the fire’s blazin′ So, baby, let it snow Let it snow Let it snow

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten And children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I′m dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white

Let it snow Let it snow, baby But the fire’s blazin′ so, baby, let it snow Let it snow, yeah Let it snow (Let it snow)

Hope you are enjoying your day!♥️
