Forever you are in my heart

Forever we’ll never be apart

Forever you are in my heart

And forever I’ll hold you close in my heart

Forever we’ll never be apart

Forever, forever

Forever I’ll hold you close in my heart

And forever I’ll always know our Love will never ever grow cold

And it’s forever you are in my heart

Forever, forever, forever

You are in my heart forever, forever

Forever our Love will last forever and ever and ever

Forever I’ll hold you close in my heart

And forever we’ll never be apart

I want you to know I’ll always be home on the holiday in your heart

Forever

Home on Holidays with Family and Friends

Being at home for holiday gatherings, spending time with my family and friends as we gather around each other, Giving Thanks to God for bringing us together again, and sharing stories are special memories. The things we share with each other are deeply felt from within our hearts that neither of us will ever forget. For the gifts that are priceless are the ones that are heartfelt; their roots are within our soul.

The warm words of “Hello, it is so good to see you, again” and the hugs we share showing each other how much we Love and care, bring tears to my eyes and warmth in my heart, with each day of knowing we will soon depart.

God sitting upon his heavenly throne has looked down upon us and smiled, as he poured out his blessings of Love and Kindness to each of us.

The peaceful atmosphere is filled with joy and happiness, as we sit around our table to express thanks to God, is one I will always cherish. I feel a special kind of Love for my family and friends, with gratitude to God for allowing us to spend this holiday together once again.

Happy Holidays to Family and Friends

I Can’t Live Without You

To My Husband

Written by Ellen Jean Barrier

From the day we met at the age of 14 years, our love has grown throughout the years. It has been one of a spiritual force that will forever dwell within my heart. Our journey on this path has led us to marriage with a beautiful family. God has blessed us with profound happiness of two hearts that beat as one, and I Can’t Live Without You.

I Can't Live Without You

You’re in all my dreams

You’re in all my thoughts

I can’t live without you

You are all I need

And everything I desire

You have made my life complete

I can’t live without you

You are my life

You are my hope

You are my happiness

You are my love and truth

I can’t live without you

You have made my life complete

and I can’t live without you

"Music is the greatest entertainment; and the only language everyone understand."
“Music is the Universal Language that allows all people to communicate with each other.” 
― Ellen J. Barrier

“Music is exciting and easy to enjoy, the rhythm and voice.
It does not need interpretation. That is why it is called the Universal Language.”

There are many genres of music. And there cannot be one way to describe it.

God's Sacrificial Offering to The World

In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.  Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

 Psalm 71: 1-3

                    Why Did God Choose Jesus for His Sacrificial Offering?

And   I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; But I found none."
Ezekiel  22:29, 30

Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
Then said I, Lo, I come in (the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Hebrews 10:5,6,7

Heaven’s Grocery Store

Ellen J. Barrier

I was walking down life's highway a long time ago.

One day I saw a sign that read HEAVEN'S GROCERY STORE.

As I got a little closer, the door open wide, and when I came to myself, I was standing inside.

 I saw a host of ANGELS; they were standing everywhere. And one ANGEL said, “MY CHILD SHOP WITH CARE.”  Everything a CHRISTIAN needed was in that grocery store.  And all you couldn’t carry, you could come back the next day for more.

First, I got some PATIENCE.  LOVE was in the same row.  Further down was UNDERSTANDING. You need that everywhere you go.

 I got a box or two of WISDOM, a bag or two of FAITH. I just couldn’t miss the HOLY GHOST for it was all over the place.

 I stopped to get some STRENGTH and COURAGE to help me run the race. By then, my basket was getting full, but I remembered I need some GRACE.

I didn’t forget SALVATION. For SALVATION that was free.

 So, I tried to get enough of that save you and me.

Then I started to the counter to pay my grocery bill. For I thought I had everything to do MY MASTER’s WILL. As I went up the aisle, I saw PRAYER and just had to put that in.  For I knew when I stepped outside, I would run right into sin.

PEACE and JOY were PLENTIFUL.  They were on the last shelf. SONG and PRAISES were hanging near so I just helped myself. 

Then, I said now how much do I owe? HE just smiled and said, JUST TAKE THEM EVERYWHERE YOU GO. How much do I really owe? HE smiled and said, MY CHILD, JESUS PAID YOUR BILL A LONG TIME AGO." TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOR EVERYTHING IN 2012. LET THERE BE LIGHT DAILY AND EMBRACE GOD'S GRACE OVER YOUR LIFE LIKE NEVER BEFORE!"

How to Determine a True Friend

                                                                                                          

             Ellen J. Barrier

Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.  ~ Aristotle

FinestQuotes.com

Make no friend with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: lest thou learn his ways, and get snare to their soul.  Proverbs 22:24, 25 (K.J.V.)

        Snare:

(1)    something by which one is entangled, involved in difficulties, or impeded (2) : something deceptively attractive.

Definition Source: Wikipedia encyclopedia

                                        

King Solomon explains very clearly the characteristics of true friendship by stating, “A man that hath friends must show himself friendly; and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.”

Proverbs 18:24

A true friend is not someone who is going to leave you when you are in desperate need.  They will always be with you when family members aren’t there for you. They are always ready to listen, when you need to express your innermost feelings.  You can depend on them to keep your personal information secured. They will protect you.  A true friend loves unconditionally. They never expect anything in return for the things they do  A true friend is very rare. When one is found, they are held close within our soul, because they and we are one.  Their love is not romantic, they aren't necessarily of the same gender, and aren’t always of the same ethnicity.  A true friend is sometime of different ages. There is a respect for each other that can never be blemished. And an everlasting bond that is never broken.

Condemned for Showing the World’s Shame

Ellen J. Barrier

“The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame.”

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.

Titus 2:11

My Thoughts:

The same people who condemn books that show the world its own shame, also, condemn lyrics, movies, music, and songs, for showing the world its own shame.

The Bible contains many books that show the world its own shame.  But when we articulate those things, and reveal them in books, lyrics, movies, music, and songs,  the Holier than Thou crowd, comes after us, condemning and  sitting in the seat of judgment, claiming their religious rights are being infringed upon.  Some individuals believe they are doing God’s work, by going after the authors, artists, and performers work,  and labeling it “immoral” trying to hinder the progress.

Showing the world its own shame through books, lyrics, movies, music, and songs are methods of teachings that can be for the good of the world. People are given the opportunity to make some changes in their lives for the good that will make the world less shameful. Through the technology of today, we are able to make biblical teachings more effective, when we view things from an educational standpoint of view, rather than viewing them by using our personal religious beliefs, that causes arguments and disagreements.

Music is the universal language of mankind.  ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (Outre-Mer)

Adding to the quote:

Books, Lyrics, Movies, Music and Songs are The Universal Language of Mankind.

The Power of Music over the Mind

                                                                             

        Ellen J. Barrier
Musician/Recording Artist/Songwriter

“Music is a safe kind of high.” __Jimi Hendrix

There is a power in music that can connect with the listener, in a way that no other source can. Music has power over the mind.

Artists are able to stir emotions with their music, through the state of mood feelings:  There are many genres of music to choose from. Each piece of art has its own mood.  In the quote below from the bible, this artist mood is sad. In the next quote, the effect of the artist, with this listener, is that high mood, Mr. Hendrix was referring to.  Music is like a medicine. We are addicted to music, because we need it. It can bring relief to the aches and stressful situations that life brings. We live in a world of music. There is sound and rhythm everywhere we go!

The Sad Mood:

 “My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.” Job 30:31

The High Mood:

“When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest. __Henry David Thoreau

Are you worshipping your Faith? Or Are You Worshipping God?

    

Ellen J. Barrier

Everyone who takes the position of a Spiritual Leader has a responsibility that is a high calling above all professions, because their obligation is to serve all people regardless of their faith, or gender. He or she isn’t in the position to render judgment or punishment, based on religious beliefs, but to serve the people in the manner of the things that every human being is required to have - based upon their birth given rights by the creator of all things. 



God is not bias and neither is he racist. Those who practice such behavior are condemned by him.

The Responsibility for all Spiritual Leaders:
“THEREFORE seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; but have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the Word of God, deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s (person’s) conscience in the sight of God.” 

11 Corinthians 4:1, 2 (K.J.V)

When  Spiritual Leaders hear those who they know using the Word of God or Faith in a crafty or deceitful fashion, they should condemn this kind of behavior. Such behavior is condemned by God. Therefore, it should be condemned by his Spiritual Leaders, because he will turn his wrath upon the person who practices this behavior.

The Words of God are to be used for the purpose of good, and not for evil. His Words are holy. God is a Spirit. His Words are spiritual. We worship him from within our spiritual being. We should use his words to give comfort, healing, hope, and peace in times of need.  Some people say they are worshipping God, but we discover they are worshipping their religion instead.

Music & Sound

by Ellen J. Barrier
Author/Musician/Recording Artist/Songwriter                                                                                                                                                                  
We are surrounded by the sound of music. When we are out side in our yards, we hear the sound of birds chirping musical notes, squirrels on an electrical wire, running back and forth, making their merry sounds. We hear the sound of music being listened to, by drivers, in our communities and neighborhoods.

Music brings to listeners something that is wonderful and special. It has a way of relaxing or bringing excitement. There are many different kinds of styles of music. We each can choose our own preference: Contemporary, Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, Gospel, Pop, Inspiration, Spiritual, Soft,  Latin, and others.

I love the sound of musical instruments such as; guitar, drums, clarinet, flute, organ, piano, saxophone, and some others. The keyboard is a ‘must have’ musical instrument, because of the special sound effects it has.

Music and sound have been in the world, from the beginning of its existence.  Beginning with hands clapping, and feet stumping, using what ever item or method, to make sound with rhythm- automatically brings a response of excitement, giving the desire to move with the rhythm of the beat.
We dance, use music in our exercise routines, and to workout.

On rainy days or nights, relaxing and reading a good book, while listening to favorite music and songs, are unforgettable.

“Music is like medicine.  It can bring relief to the aches and stressful situations that life brings. We live in a world of music. There is sound and rhythm everywhere we go!”
