2 Corinthians 8:10 (Msg): So here's what I think: The best thing you can do right now is to finish what you started last year and not let those good intentions grow stale. Your heart's been in the right place all along. You've got what it takes to finish it up, so go to it. Once the commitment is clear, you do what you can, not what you can't. The heart regulates the hands.
Ya'll. God is flat-out amazing when he gets your attention.
And then my thread locked. Dang, just when I was needing you most. THEN I composed a brand new thread post and lost it by accidentally closing the browser. ACK! I have to go to work in a few minutes so I'll try to post more there (sometimes I'm not filtered out from the internet) but wanted to start a thread. The new thread title is from the lyrics in a Sarah McLachlan song that OW burned for H on a CD of mixed Sarah M songs. I used to LOVE her music and now it's just a hot knife in my soul most times she appears on my iPod shuffle. And of course she appeared yesterday, with this very song. It's beautiful and sad, made sadder in context and how much I miss my H, even with him in the house.
Song for a Winter's Night The lamp is burning low upon my table top the snow is softly falling The air is still within the silence of my room I hear your voice softly calling
If I could only have you near to breathe a sigh or two I would be happy just to hold the hands I love on this winter's night with you
The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead my glass is almost empty I read again between the lines upon the page the words of love you sent me
If I could know within my heart that you were lonely too I would be happy just to hold the hands I love upon this winter's night with you
The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim the shades of night are lifting The morning light steals across my windowpane where webs of snow are drifting
If I could only have you near to breathe a sigh or two I would be happy just to hold the hands I love and to be once again with with you
To be once again with you
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Is 43:18-19
If it seems slow in coming, wait. It's on its way. It will come right on time. Hab 2:3
