Relationships

Not to be confused with relatives - that is an entirely different subject!

I have been thinking a lot about relationships. I have all sorts of them and I'm afraid I don't think about them enough - you know - sort of take them for granted. I'm sorry.

I listened to one of my favorite songs by The Swift, "Almost There" When you listen to it, picture the father singing to the Prodigal Son.

When I listen to it, I hear my Heavenly Father singing to me - His all-to-often prodigal son. I have broken His heart over and over and He still loves me and wants me back with Him. That is AMAZING!

Too often I KNOW about my relationship with God; I've read the book and know most of the facts about it all. But I don't always think about my relationship with God, how all the stuff that happens every day, and the things I do and say affect my Father. I just hear Him saying,

"You go ahead and do what you "have to do".
I hope and pray you change your mind.
But if you come back, could you remember to bring my heart
I'll stay right here so I'm not hard to find."

I am so very sorry for all the times I have wandered off just not paying attention. And I am so very glad that you are right here and not hard to find. Thank you Father.

You're So Far Away...

OK so I am sitting here looking at pictures of my family on the other side of the continent (not to mention the ones on an entirely different continent...) and there is the song in my head...

"You're so far away, doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore. It would be so fine to see your face at my door. And it doesn't help to know that you're just time away. Long ago I reached for you and there you stood. Holding you again could only do me good. How I wish I could, but you're so far away... "

The sad thing is that I was able to remember almost all of those lyrics. in my head being sung, of course, by Carole King...my mind frightens me sometimes.

But I have so many joys and so much to be thankful for.

Still I miss you all and love you all...just "one more song about movin' along the highway..."
