Can't Smile Without You
By Barry Mannilow


CHORUS:

You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who would have believed that you were part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away

And now you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile

Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me

And you see I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel glad when you're glad
I feel sad when you're sad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

I came across this title of post from one blogger... I am so sorry i clicked so fast i forgot the name of the blogger so i cannot mention you here.... but it made me think.... What would make this Christmas unique and different from past years????






A lot of immaterial and senseless reasons came to mind but allow me to sincerely and truthfully say this.... For the first time in my entire life... this Christmas 2008 is the first Christmas i thought of finding the best gift for the CELEBRANT. For once in my life i am not asking for something for myself... but I am offering something OF MYSELF to the ONE whose birthday became our Salvation.

Happy Birthday Jesus... Please accept the humble gift of my heart.

" Search my heart.. Look deep within my Soul..See if there'll be anything at all.. that might keep me from hearing you, keep me from knowing you.. keep me from Loving you.. DEAR LORD! "

With everything said and done, I don't want to look back at my 2008 and find myself regretting everything that has happened. There's no use to dwell on the past...given the chance, i would still do the things i have done.

Surprisingly, I now have a certain sense of calmness. Maybe because I may not fully understand everything but I am more open now for God and my 'POWER RANGERS' to work their healing wonders on me. I still have questions... I still feel hurt... I still cry a bit... but my BELIEF AND TRUST to GOD helps me get through each painful day.... each passing night.

Everything now is out of my hands... I did my BEST.... I gave my all... I know I was and still am a good person... I chose to be quiet.. i chose to FORGIVE. Now I am sitting here... waiting..... believing....trusting.....

The Reality of God's LOVE is as sure as the Cruelty of Man.... hear my heart's prayer.....

" OH LOVE OF GOD HOW DEEP AND GREAT... FAR DEEPER THAN MAN'S DEEPEST HATE... ENVELOPE ME. "

One small step at a time..... no rush.. surprisingly in just after a week i have this sort of calmness that helps me get through each painful day.

Give Us This Day blog was created to have a space to share my thoughts for the day.. i was aiming to inspire... encourage... but then i myself forgot why this is the title of my blog.... I was inspired by the Lord's Prayer.... the one Jesus thought us...

....Give Us This Day our Daily Bread.... God is giving us everything that we would need for the day.... we must never worry that HE will give us less....( goodness.. i need to tell myself that over and over again!!!! )

In this new trial in my life... I am just taking each day as it comes.. taking one small step at a time... hopefully always going forward...
