Seeing the Everyday in Twenty Thirteen

Seeing the Everyday in Twenty Thirteen
Our lives are the sum of each moment and interaction. Each day we work, eat, laugh, teach, play, read, remember...and work at it all again the next day. Within seemingly small exchanges we find opportunity to build relationships, develop character, find joy for the price of our time. Life's most essential possibilities are realized at home. Where we share, teach, grow, learn, serve, give our best without praise or fanfare. Because every effort, every moment matters in the development of a person. Nothing is really routine. I give myself for the good of my family and find the poetry within life's daily prose by Seeing the Everyday.

How Much Can One Heart Take?

Sunday, July 18, 2010

This is Mindy Gledhill singing "Emma" a tribute to Joseph the Prophet.  It's stories like this that really help to put my life in perspective and teaches me that I can be strong and that I can do my life!

Never had an ordinary day
Never lived your life in an ordinary way
For everything you loved you paid a price
But you couldn't let the world see you cry

Never had a moment of peace
Never felt the sunlight
When the worries set you free
Every time your life turned a page

It seemed like your heart might break
With the world on your shoulders
When the nights had grown colder
You seemed to weather every storm

With a queen's grace
When you lost your husband
When you buried your children
I'm sure the angels stood in reverence as you prayed

How much can on heart take
Never had a day to call your own
When so many needed your warm heart as a home
Whispering a mother's lullaby

As you sat alone by the fire
And i'm sure your heart breaks, when some people still say
Somewhere down the line you lost your faith

How much can one heart take
How much can one heart take
