The first day of classes is now behind me 😀 and many other adults and students, and we all breath a sigh of relief that we made it through the day. A number of times colleagues would ask, “how is your first day going?” My response each time was, “I just want to get through it.”
Then, this evening I sat down to catch up on emails, notes, and other communications, with tunes cranked to put me into a delightful state of bliss. The first song must have been mistakenly put on repeat, and so it played over and over and over again.
Maybe, though, it was providence, fate or divine message from God that caused it to play again and again.
Now I am hoping that it will play again and again in my head, until I get the message of it’s words.
I really love it when a song speaks to me, makes me wonder, teaches me, or reminds me of something I have forgotten.
That is what the song, Good to be Alive, sung by Jason Gray, does for me, it reminds me of something I keep forgetting … remember, I was the chickie who “just want to get through it (the day)” … that it is good to be alive, and that we live best if we keep this in mind, in the exciting and the mundane of life.
If I look at my life I am so blessed. I have been made fully and completely alive by my Creator. I am healthy. I have a great hubby and amazing kids. I have a job AND I love it. I have friends, family, home, etc., etc., etc. I have so much to live for that should make every moment of every day be seen by myself as a gift. I should NEVER be viewing any part of my day as something to get through!
Check it out, maybe it will put a spring in your step too.
“Good To Be Alive”
Hold on
Is this really the life I’m living?
Cause I don’t feel like I deserve it
Every day that I wake, every breath that I take you’ve given
So right here, right now
While the sun is shining down
I wanna live like there’s no tomorrow
Love like I’m on borrowed time
It’s good to be alive, yeah
Hold on
If the life that we’ve been given
Is made beautiful in the living
And the joy that we get brings joy to the heart of the giver
Then right here, right now
This is the song I’m singing out
I wanna live like there’s no tomorrow
Love like I’m on borrowed time
It’s good to be alive
[x2]
I won’t take it for granted
I won’t waste another second
All I want is to give you
A life well lived, to say “thank you”
I wanna live like there’s no tomorrow
Love like I’m on borrowed time
It’s good to be, it’s good to be alive
