Praying with Lior

Here's the trailer for a extraordinary documentary about a kid named Lior. He was born with challenges that set him apart from everyone else that we consider "normal". He has down syndrome or "up" Syndrome as he likes to put it. Throughout the film you see this child battle with numerous things that we take for granted but one thing that he has no struggle at all with is davening (Jewish for Praying).
He praises and sings constantly and the amount of joy this kid has is unfathomable when you think of the heavy burden it must be not to understand the world around you. He brings light to everyone he comes in contact with, from his family, to his school mates, to Don the barber who cuts his hair. Lior has no fear in showing affection and telling those around him that he loves them.
While watching this film you can't help but to want the connection to God that this child has. At one point, when asked what davening does to God, Lior replys "It makes Him feel good". That's powerful.
Today, say a prayer. Sing praise to the most high. Wholeness will follow.

Shalom.

Encouragement from Philippians

Sometimes when your going through it is challenging to see any good. Life is filled with good but rainy days are inevitable. The one thing that will change our mind set when going through these inevitable days is the word of God. In it, you will find peace that surpasses all understanding and without fully comprehending how you can smile with a sob in your heart, you manage. God is real folks. His word still holds true and If you take hold of it now it will transform your life.

Special Place In Heaven Award: DJ DAIN "Don't Worry, I'm Yours"

This is an AMAZING mashup of three great songs performed by Bobby McFerrin (who has been featured on the blog twice before), Jason Mraz, and Isreal Kamakawio'ole!

It's funny, These songs have individually been on heavy rotation for me on the low days and Isreal definitely accompanied me on plenty mornings headed to the office. How dope is it that we can hear them all in one. The lyrics, melody and soul of these songs are mood changing and I'm glad I came across it!
