Rascal Flatts - Things That Matter

The past is gone
Things that matter
Things that don't

Time ain't on my side
Don't want to leave this world
With why didn't I?
Why didn't I?
Yeah why didn't I?

Sometimes I take on this world by myself
Thinking I got all the answers
Don't need anybody's help
Well god was right there waiting for me all along
To fall down on my knees surrender all
Things that matter
Things that don't
Things that matter
Things that don't

Carrie Underwood - Wasted

Standing at the back door
She tried to make it fast
One tear hit the hard wood
It fell like broken glass
She said sometimes love slips away
And you just can't get it back
Let's face it

For one split second
She almost turned around
But that would be like pouring rain drops
Back into a cloud
So she took another step and said
I see the way out and I'm gonna' take it

I don't wanna' spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one day and find
That I've let all these years go by
Wasted

Another glass of whisky but it still don't kill the pain
So he stumbles to the sink and pours it down the drain
He says it's time to be a man and stop living for yesterday
Gotta face it.

Cause' I don't wanna' spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one day and find
That I've let all these years go by
Wasted

Oh I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missing
The still of the morning, the color of the night
I ain't spending no more time
Wasted

She kept drivin' along
Till the moon and the sun were floating side-by-side
He looked in the mirror and his eyes were clear
For the first time in a while

Hey, yeah,
Oh, I don't wanna' spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one day and find
That I've let all these years go by
Wasted

Oh I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missing
The still of the morning, the color of the night
I ain't spending no more time
Wasted

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."

Leo Buscaglia

When you come right down to it, the secret to having it all is loving it all.

-Dr. Joyce Brothers

Forgiveness

"Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime,
Therefore, we are saved by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;
Therefore, we are saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone.
Therefore, we are saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own;
Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love, which is forgiveness."

Reinhold Niebuhr

"What you thought before has led to every choice you have made, and this adds up to you at this moment. If you want to change who you are physically, mentally, and spiritually, you will have to change what you think."

Dr. Patrick Gentempo

"Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world."

C.S. Lewis

A Pearl

"A pearl is a beautiful thing that is produced by an injured life. It is the tear [that results] from the injury of the oyster. The treasure of our being in this world is also produced by an injured life. If we had not been wounded, if we had not been injured, then we will not produce the pearl."

Stephan Hoeller

Thoughts from Pastor Lenny...that Spoke to me...Wanted to Share...Enjoy!

"Did you hear the news? I can't believe it! Have you heard what they are saying?" Whether it is a political scandal, an amazing athlete's hidden life being exposed, a new strain of flu virus or even an important discovery that will change the future radically, there will always be those who are ready to listen and those who could care less. A popular Christmas song asks the question, "DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR?" I believe this is a relevant question for you and me today. We are engulfed by media, sound, voices, ideas and even silent messages entering through the eye gate that speak to us. During the Christmas Season, we will hear pleasant songs, words of affirmation, reminders of the real meaning of Christmas but likely our ears will also take in honking horns, disgruntled shoppers and even the obnoxiously loud relative that has had a little too much of the spiked eggnog. Do you hear what I hear? While contemplating the disciplines that help us have healthy homes, it seems to me that the cultivation of a listening heart is significant. I would like to challenge all of us to consider the value of hearing from God in our hearts. I don't know just how to explain the means by which this "hearing" takes place. I do know that the possibilities of hearing from Him this Christmas will be increased if I will take some time to listen. Psalms 46:10 says, "Be still and know that I am God." It implies my ability to "know" is connected to the decision to be "still." We pride ourselves in our busy schedules, always on the go! "Things to do, places to go, people to see!" In this phrase is captured the idea that I am using the time God has given me to its fullest. Are we really? "God with us" is an invitation to a divine relationship. May I suggest that in the midst of family gatherings and holiday activities, we all take time to be with Him. Our desire to follow Him and do what honors Him can be better fulfilled as we take time to hear His voice in our hearts daily. As each individual in any home is hearing from and growing closer to Jesus, our homes will surely become more healthy. God bless you and may you have a very merry Christmas.
