ONE THOUSAND GIFTS

Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transparent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world. ~ Sara Ban Breathnach

Gather Up the Crumbs - III - When the Rain Comes


Third Day is another group that speaks to my heart...when I'm needing a bit of a boost. For those involved in agriculture, I'm sure you will appreciate the hope these lyrics offer.

Third Day
"When The Rain Comes"
When the rain comes it seems that everyone has
gone away
When the night falls you wonder if you shouldn't
find someplace
To run and hide
Escape the pain
But hiding's such a lonely thing to do
I can't stop the rain
From falling down on you again
I can't stop the rain
But I will hold you 'til it goes away

When the rain comes
you blame it on the things that
you have done
When the storm fades
you know that rain must fall
on everyone
Rest awhile
it'll be alright
No one loves you like I do
When the rain comes
I will hold you 



A friend told me today that he had stopped reading my blog because I am all over the place.  I responded, "Well, yes, but that is how I think things through."

He was right.  When I got home I read the past few entries...and my fatigue jumped off the page at me. While I have been saying I am physically, emotionally, and spiritually tired...I've kept going, but unlike the Energizer Bunny, I've not been running ultra efficiently.  Funny, how the body/mind begin to betray me when I refuse to do more than acknowledge I'm tired.

I've got to get my bulletin to the secretary yet tonight, and then my granddaughter and I are going to snuggle with a movie...and hopefully go to sleep.  Tomorrow I'm taking her to the doctor, out for breakfast, a little shopping and then on to see Kung Fu Panda.

You know, its hard.

I am in a much better place spiritually than I have been, yet, I've so far to go in order to be mentally, physically, AND spiritually healthy!!!

You Alone by....are you ready for this? : ) You Alone by Echoing Angels.  Now, how perfect is that?

Many Blessings ~ Sandi

You Alone
Desperately wanting to just find a way
Searching and seeking for someone to say
That its alright and its ok
Like I know you can

That its alright and its ok
Like I know you can

(Chorus)
You alone are God
I am yours and you are mine
And I know the heavens will call out your name
If I don't

I close my eyes
And I drift away
To a place I remember
To a place I feel safe
Where its alright and its ok
Cause I'm there in your arms

Where its alright and its ok
Cause I'm there in your arms


You alone are God
I am yours and you are mine
And I know the heavens will call out your name (repeat)

(Bridge)
You forgive me
You accept me
Just as I am
And you love me
And you want me
To understand

  1. Some of us are also scattered and enjoy the honest process of yearning to be closer to God. I know that I am blessed to have a God who accepts me just as I am and loves me in my imperfection.
