Find your wings…
Been wondering what to blog today…nothing really there…
But, I just talked to my sister on the phone, and she met with the ladies that worked with her and the woman that died from cancer, Nancy, that I mentioned in an earlier post.
She died of breast cancer…after a long battle. She really was a special lady!
They talked about memories and things they had done in the past together…
Her sister was there for her from beginning to end, and sent my sister an email of the song they played at her funeral. My sister opened it and let me hear it while I was on the phone.
I knew then…I had to share it…
These are the words…and here is a link if you’d like to hear it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knm492yxMfo
Really like the chorus…and it is my prayer for all of you today! That we will all find our wings–and become the beautiful butterflies we were created to be!
Mark Harris - Find Your Wings
From the album The Line Between The Two
It’s only for a moment you are mine to hold
The plans that heaven has for you
Will all too soon unfold
So many different prayers I’ll pray
For all that you might do
But most of all I’ll want to know
You’re walking in the truth
And If I never told you
I want you to know
As I watch you grow
Chorus:
I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage
To dare to do great things
I’m here for you whatever this life brings
So let GOD’S love give you roots
And help you find your wings May passion be the wind
That leads you through your days
And may conviction keep you strong
Guide you on your way
May there be many moments
That make your life so sweet
Oh, but more than memoriesChorus:
It’s not living if you don’t reach for the sky
I’ll have tears as you take off
But I’ll cheer as you fly
I thought that was it…but there is more coming to me now…and I just thought I’d put it here.
Just wanted to say that life is so short. People are here and then they are gone. My son left last Aug to become a man…and I miss him. AND this sister misses her sister too. AND I just want to say…we have to do this, lose this weight…we just have to. Life is so precious and so SHORT…and we gotta throw off this heaviness on us and fly…fly freely into our dreams our desires…not letting ANYTHING hold us back.
We just have to find our wings!
Praying that God will touch your hearts with His love today and fill you with HOPE, JOY, PEACE, DETERMINATION and STRENGTH…
With Him ALL things are possible.
Every time I see a butterfly I think of you Chrisie. Your spirit IS a beautiful butterfly.
When I think of spreading my wings and being a free spirit I also think of Who gave me those wings and therefore with Whom I need to soar. With Whom the flight is made Majestic! With Whom my heart and soul are lifted to new heights. With Whom I earn my keep by encouraging others to take the voyage with us. With Whom the velocity is always calm. With Whom I have learned that the only way I can truly spread my wings is when I practice acceptance, forgiveness, tolerance, compassion, and how to truly lose myself beneath the wings of others. When I take flight with everyone is when I will truly soar! That is therefore the meaning of my wings. Thank you Chrisie for insipiring me to remind myself of my wings that are the very essence of who I am and to WHOM I owe my life. The song is beautiful also! Thanks for sharing! Luv Ya! Butterfly!
You have a kind and wonderful spirit. We all could afford to look at the world through Chrisie-colored glasses… you see the good.
Thank you for sharing.
Very touching words.
