Jamál (Beauty), 17 Mulk (Dominion) 176 B.E. - Sunday, February 23, 2020 Artist: Children's Choir Title: We Are Drops We Are Drops is a song from the Ruhi Children's Classes: Songs for children’s classes I've been feeling a bit down lately, so for the rest of February I'm focusing on upbeat songs. Songs that I can sing along with while I'm watching the video. Many of the song from the songs inspired by the Baha'i sacred writings or the Baha'i scriptures and payers put to music are uplifting and encourage me to sing along with them. With everything that is going on in the world today, I have to refocus my positive energy everyday. I can do this through prayer, meditation, reading the sacred text, and listening to spiritual music. World Citizens Citizens of a single country, we walk from town to town, intoning God's Most Great Name. Secure in the knowledge, that out of the crucible of tests, World Peace will come. As a world citizen, who lives in the United States, I have to keep up on national and international news. The news can be depressing and generate negative energy. The only thing negative energy does is generate more negative energy and depression. This requires an individual to find a way to generate positive energy, and one way to do this is to listen to and sing along with uplifting songs. |
