But I do have something I'd like to share, just about life in general -- sort of going off the last 2 posts, about Heaven & 'running the race.'
And also just related to how alive Autumn makes me feel.
First, a thought about life, from the position of defending the unborn;
And then, a thought about life, Autumn, moments of joy that make my heart want to burst, & a song that very often sums those things up for me;
"Through the window, I see you waiting;
you are smiling, 'cause I'm coming.
Your eyes are a story, an ocean of memories--
Pictures of places, and faces,
and all of the things
that make us feel like we have it all.
All of the times that make us realize we have it all.
We have it all.
Oh, oh, oh!
Life is beautiful!
Oh, oh-- Oh!
Life is beautiful!
...Laughing or crying;
if we have the whole world,
or have nothing;
I know there are long nights, but we'll make it!
With every sunrise
comes a new life,
and all of the things
that make us feel like we have it all.
All of the times that make us realize we have it all.
We have it all.
Oh, oh, oh!
Life is beautiful!
A father's love.
A wedding dance.
New Year's dreams.
A toast with friends.
A soldier coming home from war.
A faith, a hope for so much more.
A brand new life,
a mother's prayer.
Shooting stars!
Ocean air!
...Fireworks,
Christmas lights.
These are the things that make us feel alive!
These are the times that make us realize--
Life is beautiful!"
--The Afters, Life Is Beautiful
