Sacred

Paul bought a new Caedmon's Call cd. I read the lyrics to this song and it immediately brought tears to my eyes. This is for all my friends who are moms. I hope it encourages you.
Kim, I read this right after our last talk. I love you. You speak God's words to me.

Sacred
words and Music by Randall Goodgame and Andrew Osenga

This house is a good mess
It's the proof of life
No way would I trade jobs
but it don't pay overtime
I'll get to the laundry
I don't know when
I'm saying a prayer tongiht
Cause tomorrow it starts again

Could it be that everything is sacred?
And all this time
Everything I've dreamed of
Has been right before my eyes

The children are sleeping
But they're running through my mind
The sun makes them happy
And the music makes them unwind
My cup runneth over
And I worry about the stain
Teach me to run to you
Like they run to me for every little thing

Could it be that everything is sacred?
And all this time
Everything I've dreamed of
Has been right before my eyes

When I forget to drink from You
I can feel the banks harden
Lord, make me like a stream
To feed the garden
Wake up, little sleeper
The Lord, God Almighty
Made your Mama keeper so rise and shine
Rise and shine cause

Could it be that everything is sacred?
And all this time
Everything I've dreamed of
Has been right before my eyes

Thank you for posting that, I needed it. I will have to buy that cd now. God always finds so many places to uplift us and make us think of his Glory and Grace... isn't it wonderful??

Love it! Can't wait to show it to Kim. I especially loved the part about the cup runneth over... and I worry about the stain. Priceless.

God bless you guys.

P.S. especially funny to read it and then see the picture that follows from your previous post.

Thanks for posting those words - they encourage me today.

I know you are a great Mom - I wish we could share those times like we used to.

Have a good day with your little ones. I might try to find that song on itunes and play it over and over again :)

sweet song kristi. it really made me think about how easy it is to get caught up in the everyday things that we need to accomplish. it's convicting me to just be with jenna and to try and feed her Jesus, and not to worry about when she is potty trained, if she can say her abc's all on her own, or how much my house is an absolute disaster :) i really love the part that says... lord make me a stream so that i can water the garden.

jenna and i had the most wonderful day today playing outside all day long (it was in the 70s today and tomorrow it will snow..boohoo). it was such a blessing from the Lord.

ps. i need your address can you email it to me?
