Today...
I am sitting here listening to my favorite Natalie Merchant song. Kind and Generous...this is a song of thanksgiving...to someone...for me it is Jesus. Everytime I listen to it, my heart swells within.This morning I saw a really bad accident on the way to work. It was on the other side of the freeway, but a Jeep Cherokee was tossed around like a leaf in the cold winter winds. I was just speechless and started to pray for the people, then I started to think about how that could be me. From time to time I have those thoughts...being on the road so much, it really freaks me out.
My thoughts after seeing this was just stuck on the fragility of human life. We go day in and day out, not thinking about the nearness of death, the fact that we are all going to go someday, all in different ways...all having a life to live while we are here...are we using it for what it is intended or are we wasting it? I don't fear death, I am actually looking forward to it whenever it happens...the dreams I have of heaven are nice. For now I poise the question to whomever is reading...are you living for what you are intended for?
God I thank you for the light of life. I thank you for the light of death. I pray that I will continue to seek your light this day.
Here are the lyrics:
You've been so kind and generous
I don't know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I'm in debt to you
For your selflessness, my admiration
For everything you've done
You know I'm bound, I'm bound to thank you for it
LALALALALALALALALALALA
You've been so kind and generous
I don't know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I'm in debt to you
And I never could have gone this far without you
For everything you've done
You know I'm bound, I'm bound to thank you for it
LALALALALALALALALALALA
I want to thank you for so many gifts you gave with love and tenderness, I want to thank you
I want to thank you for your generousity, the love and the honesty that you gave me
I want to thank you show my gratitude, my love and my respect for you I want to thank you
I want to thank you
Thank you
