Music and Anniversaries and more
Good Morning Friday!
I have a friend that used to spend the first hour of everyday with a quiet time in the Bible. She didn't have any children and was married for quite some time. She was/is an inspiration to me. She now has 2 children and 1 on the way and we have talked lately of her desire for that same quiet time/fellowship in her Bible each morning. She is up a lot at night with her 1 year old and busy chasing after her 3 year old all day AND she is due in 4 weeks for number 3. She mentioned the fact that she has been changing her quiet time most days to music. I spent some time yesterday looking at some lyrics from some music from my song books. I have been thinking of songs and lyrics since I have talked with her .We chatted about what "a quiet time" looked like. How many ways can we "be" with our Father? What does quiet time look like for you? What does your private worship look like? Does it matter who we worship more than how we worship in our quiet time?
Well the song I landed on yesterday was, "What if it were Today?" Some of the lyrics are
Jesus is coming to earth again what if it were today?
Coming in power and love to reign what it it were today?
Coming to claim His chosen Bride, All the redeemed and purified, Over this whole earth scattered wide what if were today?
This was just the first verse and the second verse goes on to talk about Satans dominion being over, no more sadness... we had a 3 year anniversary yesterday. My Father-inlaw was taken home. We didn't know what day God would take Him home. He had been very sick for a good 3 months and we had prayed for healing and God chose October 27, 2007 to heal him completely. Last night my husband and I talked about the things we remembered about this day and the days before he passed away. Seems like yesterday some days, and then it seems like forever on other days. We had the chance to say good bye to him because of the cancer that slowly took his life but that isn't always the way it goes.
What if it were today? Where is your home?
