Time Just Gets Away
Well . . . I cannot believe that two months have passed since I last blogged. It's amazing how time just gets away from us. As I sit here quietly watching the Panthers win the game . . . okay . . . maybe not so quietly . . . the days events are replaying in my mind like a movie scene. With the twenty-four hours that God has given me today; what have I done for Him? Before we know it . . . months have passed and our Bible is collecting dust . . . the note cards we had planned to send to that someone have somehow managed to find their way to the back of the list of things to do, the phone calls that need to be made . . . well, they never get made . . . and then there is our family. What are we doing for Him? There is a popular song that was recently recorded by Point Of Grace called "How You Live." There is a lot of truth to that song. I have enclosed the lyrics for your reading pleasure in hopes that this Christmas will be different. That we will slow down and see what is really important . . . Have a very, Merry Christmas!!!!
Wake up to the sunlight with your windows open
Don't hold in your anger or leave things unspoken
Wear your red dress, use your good dishes
Make a big mess and make lots of wishes
And have what you want, but want what you have
And don't spend your life looking back
Turn up the music Turn it up loud
Take a few chances and let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Looking back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew And it's not what you did
It's how you live
So go to the ballgames and go to the ballet
And go see your folks more than just on the holidays
Kiss all your children, dance with your wife
Tell your husband you love him every night
Don't run from the truth 'cause you can't get away, no Face it and you'll be okay
Oh, wherever you are and wherever you've been
Now is the time to begin
So give to the needy, and pray for the grieving
Even when you don't think that you can
'Cause all that you do is bound to come back to you
So think of your fellow man
And make peace with God, and make peace with yourself
'Cause in the end, there's nobody else
Turn up the music Turn it up loud
Take a few chances and let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Looking back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew And it's not what you did
It's how you live
Wake up to the sunlight with your windows open
Don't hold in your anger or leave things unspoken
Wear your red dress, use your good dishes
Make a big mess and make lots of wishes
And have what you want, but want what you have
And don't spend your life looking back
Turn up the music Turn it up loud
Take a few chances and let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Looking back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew And it's not what you did
It's how you live
So go to the ballgames and go to the ballet
And go see your folks more than just on the holidays
Kiss all your children, dance with your wife
Tell your husband you love him every night
Don't run from the truth 'cause you can't get away, no Face it and you'll be okay
Oh, wherever you are and wherever you've been
Now is the time to begin
So give to the needy, and pray for the grieving
Even when you don't think that you can
'Cause all that you do is bound to come back to you
So think of your fellow man
And make peace with God, and make peace with yourself
'Cause in the end, there's nobody else
Turn up the music Turn it up loud
Take a few chances and let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Looking back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew And it's not what you did
It's how you live
