Life's a Climb, But The View is Great!

I don't know if you have heard this song before or not, but I was listening to it yesterday and thought the words were so good. I then saw that my daughter had posted the words on her Facebook, so it was double confirmation that I should share them with you today. Sometimes we can get so focused on reaching (or not reaching) our goals, that we forget how much we are growing in the process! I hope this encourages you to focus on the climb!


I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

Success

Success is doing the best you can
With every task and every plan.

Success is speaking words of praise
And cheering other people's ways.

It's silence when your speech would hurt,
Politeness when your neighbor's curt.

It's deafness when the scandal flows
And sympathy with another's woes.

It's loyalty when duty calls
And courage when disaster falls.

It's politeness when the hours are long,
It's found in laughter and in song.

It's in the silent time of prayer
And in happiness and in despair.

In all of life and nothing less We find the thing we call success!

A Valentine Prayer

I said a Valentine prayer for you
and asked the Lord above
to fill your heart and bless your soul
With the precious gift of love.

I asked Him for sincere love
The kind that's meant to stay
Just like the generous love
You give to those you touch each day.

I prayed for love from family
And from every cherished friend
Then I asked the Lord to give you
His love that knows no end.

Love is patient,
Love is kind.

It bears all things,
Believes all things,

Hopes all things,
Endures all things.

Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:4,7,8

Happy Valentine's Day

to All of My Friends!
