This day

a clean desk, newly painted walls and lovely artwork to put on them, being able to hear the Daddy song and not cry, doves being released in remembrance of a life lived into a clear, crisp winter sky, welcoming new and old friends into my home

Just a few "of my favorite things"

Once again, I am playing "catch-up"...

good friends, "hip" aunts, medical advancements, worship planning, understanding and supportive family and congregations, Dr. Pepper, clean sofa covers and pillows, seeing "you rock!" on my office door, class-mates who share, tires that do not blow, cats and dogs that simply lay their heads on your leg as if to say, "It's ok, I still love you," Christmas cookies, beach weddings, sunshine, generosity, hearts and hands that serve, intercoms that work, secure Internet, yarn on sale (not just "for" sale, rob), quiet, communication

Today's Song

I have traveled many moonless nights,
Cold and weary with a babe inside,
And I wonder what I've done.
Holy father you have come,
And chosen me now to carry your son.

I am waiting in a silent prayer.
I am frightened by the load I bear.
In a world as cold as stone,
Must I walk this path alone?
Be with me now.
Be with me now.

Breath of heaven,
Hold me together,
Be forever near me,
Breath of heaven.
Breath of heaven,
Lighten my darkness,
Pour over me your holiness,
For you are holy.
Breath of heaven.

Do you wonder as you watch my face,
If a wiser one should have had my place,
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan.
Help me be strong.
Help me be.
Help me.

Breath of heaven,
Hold me together,
Be forever near me,
Breath of heaven.
Breath of heaven,
Lighten my darkness,
Pour over me your holiness,
For you are holy.

Breath of heaven,
Hold me together,
Be forever near me,
Breath of heaven.
Breath of heaven,
Lighten my darkness,
Pour over me your holiness,
For you are holy.
Breath of heaven.
Breath of heaven.
Breath of heaven.
