Cover Me in Sunshine music video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGZhMIXH62M

This song was written in 2021 for singer Pink and her daughter Willow Hart. She teased the song on TikTok before its release, and also said in a video, “I love singing with my daughter and my son... we have this song called ‘Cover Me in Sunshine’ that we recorded at home because it made us feel happy and so we're going to put it out for no other reason than that we hope that the song makes you feel happy.”
The accompanying video was shot on the family’s property in California, and features the duo engaging in simple pleasures in nature. It received positive reviews upon its release with journalists calling the song “upbeat and positive”, “adorable”, “inspirational”, and “dreamy”.

Questions for Reflection:

How do simple joys like spending time with family or in nature remind you of God’s love?

Meditate on these words: “The world’s been spinning since the beginning, and everything will be alright.”

Can God’s generosity ever be wasted? Is generosity to another person ever a waste?

How are we called to cover others with sunshine, or shower them with good times?

Lyrics:
I've been dreaming of friendly faces
I've got so much time to kill
Just imagine people laughing
I know some day we will
And even if it's far away
Get me through another day

Cover me in sunshine
Shower me with good times
Tell me that the world's been spinning since the beginning
And everything will be alright
Cover me in sunshine

From a distance all these mountains
Are just some tiny hills
Wildflowers, they keep living
While they're just standing still
I've been missing yesterday
But what if there's a better place?

La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la

Psalm 126:2
Then our mouth was filled with laughter and our tongue with shouts of joy; then it was said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."

John 12:3-8
3 Mary took a pound of costly perfume made of pure nard, anointed Jesus's feet, and wiped them with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was about to betray him), said,
5 "Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?"
6 (He said this not because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; he kept the common purse and used to steal what was put into it.)
7 Jesus said, "Leave her alone. She bought it so that she might keep it for the day of my burial.
8 You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me."

From "The Hiding Place", pages 213-214:
"ANOTHER STRANGE THING was happening. The Davitamon bottle was continuing to produce drops. It scarcely seemed possible, so small a bottle, so many doses a day. Now, in addition to Betsie, a dozen others on our pier were taking it. . . And still, every time I tilted the little bottle, a drop appeared at the top of the glass stopper. It just couldn’t be! I held it up to the light, trying to see how much was left, but the dark brown glass was too thick to see through.
“There was a woman in the Bible,” Betsie said, “whose oil jar was never empty.” She turned to it in the Book of Kings, the story of the poor widow of Zarephath who gave Elijah a room in her home: “The jar of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of Jehovah which he spoke by Elijah.”
Well—but—wonderful things happened all through the Bible. It was one thing to believe that such things were possible thousands of years ago, another to have it happen now, to us, this very day... Many nights I lay awake in the shower of straw dust from the mattress above, trying to fathom the marvel of supply lavished upon us. “Maybe,” I whispered to Betsie, “only a molecule or two really gets through that little pinhole—and then in the air it expands!”
I heard her soft laughter in the dark. “Don’t try too hard to explain it, Corrie. Just accept it as a surprise from a Father who loves you.”
