Soaking it up

I blinked.

This happened.

She's growing up before my eyes.
And I'm reminded to soak up every minute
as the years fly by.

Cuz it really is about the simple things.
You know?

May we not take for granted this life we've been given and those we have to share it with.

"I want to enjoy all my days before all my days end"

Wanted to share a song today called

"Soak it Up" by Warren Barfield.

It always reminds me to not to waste a moment

 of this day the Lord has blessed me with.

{lyrics}

I just saw the most amazing sunset

Well i watched as it sank into the sea

And bid another day goodbye by myself

I heard a bird sing the most beautiful song

But for the life of me, i can't remember that melody

I just remember that i had to dance alone

Oh and the days go by so fast

And the memories

They never seem to last

And i'm quick to see all i don't have

I need to change the way i look at

All i look at

Chorus:

And soak it up

Every little bit i can

Enjoy all my day

Before all my days end

And whatever i get

Always let that be enough

And never forget to soak it up

Yeah, yeah

Cause i could get caught up in this crazy race

You know the world we live in leaves no room for second place

But i've got to believe there's more to life than winning

I ain't gonna miss out on

All the beauty in my life

Like my family and my friends and my wife

All the god given gifts that money can't buy

Oh cause the days go by so fast

And the memories they never seem to last

But i'm grateful for everything i have

Cause you've changed the way i look at

All i look at

Bridge:

Ain't gonna be living tomorrows

And missing today

Ain't gonna be making treasures out of things that fade away

No i'd rather be living every second

Living every minute of every single day

Oh i will

Happy Monday!

Hope you soak up every bit of it!
