There is a song that I should have written. I found this song many years ago and became an instant favorite. With all of the songs that have come and gone I have not changed my mind. Nothing captures my heart like the last verse of this song. It is written by Cindy Morgan and is called "How Could I Ask For More". The last verse of the song brings life into focus.
So if there's anything I've learned from this journey I am on
Simple truths will keep you goin'
Simple love will keep you strong
'Cause there are questions without answers
And flames that never die
And heartaches we go through are often blessings in disguise
Thank you Lord
How can I ask for more
I yearn for a simple life with a simple love for my husband and children. Why is this the hardest thing for me to do? Because I make life difficult. When I start to think that my way is better and I have all the answers I find that I get uptight and start being critical. I also start to try to prove that I am right and smart and important. By the way, this is not a great way to win friends and influence people. But, when I relax and do the tasks that God requires of me in humble obedience I am blessed beyond all measure with peace in my heart and a simple look at life. Someday I will be able to sing this song with all my heart and know that I am content in living this way the rest of my days. Here is the rest of the song with a bit of change on the first verse in Italics......
There's nothing like the warmth of a summer afternoon
Walkin' to the sunlight bein' cradled by the moon
Catchin' fireflies at night
Buildin' castles in the sand
Kissin' children's face goodnight and holdin' Eric's hand
Thank you Lord
How can I ask for more
Runnin' barefoot through the grass a little hide and go seek
Bein' so in love that you can hardly eat
Dancin' in the dark when there's no one else around
Bein' bundled 'neath the covers watchin' snow fall to the ground
Thank you Lord
How can I ask for more
So many things I've thought would bring me happiness
Some dreams taht are realities today
Such an irony the things that mean the most to me
Are the memories that I've made along the way
So if there's anything I've learned from this journey I am on
Simple truths will keep you goin'
Simple love will keep you strong
'Cause there are questions without answers
And flames that never die
And heartaches we go through are often blessings in disguise
Thank you Lord
