Lover's Rock (Lyric of the week)
Lover's Rock (Lyric of the week)
I am in the wilderness
You are in the music
In the man's car next to me
Somewhere in my sadness
I know I won't fall apart completely
When I need to be rescued
And I need a place to swim
I have a rock to cling to in the storm
When no one can hear me calling
I have you I can sing to
And in all this
And in all my life
You are the lovers rock
The rock that I cling to
You're the one
The one I swim to in a storm
Like a lovers rock
When I need to be rescued you're there
When I need a place to swim to in a storm
I sing to you
And all my life
And in all my life

Since when?

Thank God for second chances.
And some.
A few weeks ago a co-worker was going through a challenging situation, and expressed a need for prayer.
I didn't pray an audible prayer with her but I said a silent one when I left work. I thought later that maybe saying a prayer with my co-worker could've lead to some peace of mind, at least the rest of the work day. I regretted having not prayed for her.
My dad taught me a powerful lesson that my great grandmother taught him, "always go with your first mind." That is whenever you have an initial thought to do some good thing for someone you should act on it.
Well thank God for a second chance, another co-worker expressed the need for prayer this morning and I did.
I'm just glad I took advantage of an opportunity to do some good for somebody.

Celebration, err no.
A wise man told me ...."A friend that can never make it when you celebrate, is no friend at all."
