Nobody Knows…

 

Nobody Knows…. lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don’t know where I belong
No I don’t know
But I’ve been hanging on
For too long
‘Cause no one really knows me, at all
I’ve been spending time
‘Cause time’s on my side
And if I make it home
When our worlds collide
‘Cause no one really knows me, at all

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I don’t know where I belong
No I don’t know
But I’ve been hanging on
For too long
‘Cause no one really knows me, at all
So help me find my way
The way I came from
‘Cause I’m feeling lost and afraid
You better not be too far gone
Oh, have I been so wrong
Missed the song
Still I don’t know where I belong
No I don’t know
Because no one really knows me, at all
Yeah, no one really knows me, at all

Faith in the Present Tense…

 

rose-631950

From this morning’s devotional reading:

I read this morning that when Jesus encountered the disciples on their walk to Emmaus, they spoke of their faith in the past tense: “We trusted.” (Luke 24:21)  Jesus responded to them, “O fools, and slow of heart to believe.”

Let us never put our faith, as these disciples did, in the past tense – “We trusted.”  But let us ever say, “I am trusting.”

The Song of a Bird in a Winter Storm

The soft, sweet summer was warm and glowing,

Bright were the blossoms on every bough:

I trusted Him when the roses were blooming;

I trust Him now….

Small were my faith should it weakly falter

Now that the roses have ceased to blow;

Frail were the trust that now should alter,

Doubting His love when storm clouds grow.

The Mystery of it All….

THE MYSTERY

This marker directs you into the unknowable Mystery of your journey. It is the sacred place where all things are created but are not yet formed. It points the way to pure power and potential, which meets the magic of intention. It tells you that the magical unknowable forces of destiny and fate are working in your life. The forces that you can never fully understand or control are, indeed, weaving their magic around you to help you fulfill your true purpose. There is, however, a warning to be humble here: The Mystery reveals itself only when it chooses, and not when or how you demand. The cosmic laws operate here outside of time and space, outside of human influence and intellect. Only hindsight will reveal their patterns. Only total trust and the deepest faith can be your allies when The Mystery appears as a sacred marker on your path. Sometimes it may seem as if you’re going backward, but truly, if you look at a spiral, it goes up, back, and around, reaching upward, although it may seem for a time that you are not. You are indeed progressing. Trust the Mystery, and keep going! For now, trust that the thread of your life is woven into the pattern of the Mystery with beauty, grace, strength, and purpose. This marker is an auspicious and profound omen that shows you that you are on the correct path.

I’m going to miss you when you’re gone…

 

I heard this song on the radio this morning as I was running some errands….I like the way it sounds, but also the message it conveys.   I’m reminded that most everything in this world is just on loan….for a day, a week, a month, a year or longer.  It’s not up to me to say how long something is a part of this journey called life.

James Hersey – Miss You Lyrics

Show me
What it means to be yours
What it means to be more, more
What it means to be more, ah

Show me
What a difference you make
What a word that you say now could mean when it’s over, and it comes time for change

Cause I’m gonna miss you
I’m gonna miss you when you’re gone
I’m gonna miss you
I’m gonna miss you when you’re gone, ah

Show me
How to get what you give
How to let go and live, live
How to let go and live, ah

Show me
What a life this could be
What a promise you make now could mean when the day comes, that everything you see
Is without me

Cause I’m gonna miss you
I’m gonna miss you when you’re gone
I’m gonna miss you
I’m gonna miss you when you’re gone, ah

Cause I’m gonna miss you
I’m gonna miss you, ah
I’m gonna miss you
I’m gonna miss you, ah
I’m gonna miss you
I’m gonna miss you

 

The song also reminds me of one of my favorite chapters in the Bible: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

A Time for Everything

3 There is a time for everything,
    and a season for every activity under the heavens:

2     a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3     a time to kill and a time to heal,
    a time to tear down and a time to build,
4     a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5     a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6     a time to search and a time to give up,
    a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7     a time to tear and a time to mend,
    a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8     a time to love and a time to hate,
    a time for war and a time for peace.
