Gold in Them Hills...

Well, here it is folks.

Has Gray returned to blogging?....maybe, time will tell.

Sometimes life seems so overwhelming that the idea of capturing even a paragraph of it and confining it to a fixed address in the blogosphere seems like trying to explain how orange feels.

Sometimes life has to just be lived.

My life since last March has been new terrain. Mountainous terrain to be more specific. Lots of peeks, lots of valleys, but an awful lot of just scrambling over rocks trying to get somewhere. There have been a few hellos, but for the most part, goodbyes. Too many for my liking.

Such is life.

You can only do what you can do.

Be kind to yourself.

Above all else: God Grace is enough.

This are the words i have muttered under my breath, sung at the top of my lungs, used to comfort friends, but mostly they have been my consolation when I'm, yet again, weeping in the Father's arms.

I feel as though I am at a crossroads. I'm not sure....of much of anything (other than God's tremendous love). So I'll wait. Wait for the dust to settle in this muddy stream. Wait for the still small voice.

And while i wait?

I'll live.

"Gold in them Hills"- Ron Sexsmith

I know it doesn't seem that way

But maybe it's the perfect day

Even though the bills are piling

And maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling

But if we'd only open our eyes

We'd see the blessings in disguise

That all the rain clouds are fountains

Though our troubles seem like mountains

There's gold in them hills

There's gold in them hills

So don't lose heart

Give the day a chance to start

Every now and then life says

Where do you think you're going so fast

We're apt to think it cruel but sometimes

It's a case of cruel to be kind

And if we'd get up off our knees

Why then we'd see the forest for the trees

And we'd see the new sun rising

Over the hills on the horizon

There's gold in them hills

There's gold in them hills

So don't lose faith

Give the world a chance to say...

A word or two, my friend

There's no telling how the day might end

And we'll never know until we see

That there's gold in them hills

There's gold in them hills

So don't lose heart

Give the day a chance to start

There's gold in them hills...

There's gold in them hills...
