How To Turn Your Frown Upside Down

Okay, who else besides me is getting tired of political commercials on TV?

I am so tired of them.

Where is that TV remote?

But enough about that.

Let’s talk about us.

I have one easy way right now to turn your frown upside down.

I’m talking about that beautiful curve around your mouth that reaches upwards on your face to become a smile.

The video below made me smile!

Sidewalk Prophets New Song, “Smile”

Have you heard the song, “Smile” by Sidewalk Prophets?

I love this song because it’s about choosing joy. . . choosing joy in a difficult world that desperately needs to turn back to God.

Have a listen.

 

Encouraging lyrics that affirm the truth that God has a bigger plan for all of us who put our faith in Him.

The fun video to “match” is a bonus.

That was a ping pong pun, by the way and some fancy alliteration 🙂

Here’s how one fan describes Sidewalk Prophets: “These guys are down to earth, friendly, have a passion to serve God with all their heart, soul and mind, and just love interacting with their fans.”

I may not always succeed, depending on the circumstances, but I’d rather choose joy, every day.

Real contentment must come from within. You and I cannot change or control the world around us, but we can change and control the world within us. – Warren Wiersbe, International Bible teacher/author.¹

The Sidewalk Prophets, originally from Indiana, have been around for almost twenty years now. From the very beginning, their sound has attracted a growing number of fans earning the band a win at the 2010 Dove Awards for Best New Artist of the Year.

The Band – made up of David Frey (lead vocalist), Daniel Macal (lead guitar), Blake Bratton (keyboard, hammered dulcimer), Cal Johnson (bass), and Justin Nace (drums) – is still going strong.

“Smile” released by Curb|Word Records, has garnered over 500,000 views on their YouTube Channel. Over 11,000 members belong to their Facebook fan page. Large numbers but, even so, they are described in more than one reference as a “great big family.”

Authentically sharing Christ. Creatively inspiring Hope. Joyfully making everyone feel like someone.

Sidewalk Prophets Come To The Table

Two years ago, Sidewalk Prophets released the song “Come To The Table.” It’s one of my favorites, and the video is meaningful too.

Beautiful words that speak truth.

“Come join the sinners who have been redeemed,
Take your place beside the Savior” – Song lyrics, Come to The Table.”³
