This song, on the radio over the weekend, speaks to my soul and triggers my heart….
by Revive
Teach me to number my days
And count every moment before it slips away
Taking all the colors before they fade to gray
I don’t want to miss even just a second more of this
It happens in a blink
It happens in a flash
It happens in the time it takes to look back
I try to hold on tight, but there’s no stopping time
What is it I’ve done with my life
It happens in a blink (x2)
When it’s all said and done
No one remembers how far we have run
The only thing that matters is how we have loved
I don’t want to miss even just a second more of this
It happens in a blink
It happens in a flash
It happens in the time it takes to look back
I try to hold on tight, but there’s no stopping time
What is it I’ve done with my life
It happens in a blink (x4)
Slow down, slow down
Before today becomes our yesterday
Slow down, slow down
Before you turn around and it’s too late
It happens in a blink
it happens in a flash
it happens in the time it takes to look back
I try to hold on tight but there’s no stopping time
What is it I’ve done with my life
It happens in a blink
It happens in a blink
it happens in a flash
it happens in the time it takes to look back
I try to hold on tight but there’s no stopping time
What is it I’ve done with my life
It happens in a blink (x4)
It reminds me of the value of counting, numbering the gifts. Every second, every moment, a gift. I don’t want to miss a single one.

1085. cuddling with my oldest
1086. watching the oldest mature and grow as a sister and a leader
1087. learning to wait
1088. anticipation
1089. husband who takes girls sledding
1090. quiet afternoon at home
1091. home school basketball games
1092. husband who knows to bring nachos from the concession stand without even asking
1093. early Valentine’s with my beloved
1094. shared joy
1095. old friends and the Super Bowl
1096. thoughts of friends far away as they celebrate the Green Bay win
1097. spontaneous Sunday afternoon run
1098. a new week that will hopefully bring some answers
Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
~ Psalm 90:12
