This morning was interesting. I woke up really tired because for the first time I was slightly uncomfortable sleeping. We left the air on last night so when we woke this morning it was a nice 67 degrees (who wants to get out of bed when it's chilly?). Even Ellie didn't budge immediately to go outside! When she finally did budge she went straight for her chair in the living room instead of the back door.
All in all it was an uneventful morning. I ate some Cheerios, got dressed (somewhat eventful putting together an outfit to take me from the 50's to the 70's in the same day & did I mention I am pregnant with a limited wardrobe?), and was somehow running behind. I hopped in my car and turned my iPod on and this is the song I was gifted with. Love.it. Such a wonderful reminder that while I may be counting the weeks of my pregnancy I also need to remember to make the days in that week really count and to soak up every minute of it!
Thank you Lord for that wonderful reminder!
Every day is a journal page
Every man holds a quill and ink
And there's plenty of room for writing in
All we do is believe and think
So will you compose a curse
Or will today bring the blessing
Fill the page with rhyming verse
Or some random sketching
Teach us to count the days
Teach us to make the days count
Lead us in better ways
That somehow our souls forgot
Life means so much
Life means so much
Life means so much
Every day is a bank account
And time is our currency
So nobody's rich, nobody's poor
We get 24 hours each
So how are you gonna spend
Will you invest, or squander
Try to get ahead
Or help someone who's under
Teach us to count the days
Teach us to make the days count
Lead us in better ways
That somehow our souls forgot
Life means so much
Life means so much
Life means so much
Has anybody ever lived who knew the value of a life
And don't you think giving is all
What proves the worth of yours and mine
Teach us to count the days
Teach us to make the days count
Lead us in better ways
That somehow our souls forgot
Life means so much
Every day is a gift you've been given
Make the most of the time every minute you're living
