Darling Be Home Soon
A Song From Our Past
Written By John Sebastian
Come
And talk of all the things we did today
Here
And laugh about our funny little ways
While we have a few minutes to breathe
Then I know that it's time you must leave
But darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
And now
A quarter of my life is almost past
I think I've come to see myself at last
And I see that the time spent confused
Was the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom
So darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
Darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
Go
And beat your crazy head against the sky
Try
And see beyond the houses and your eyes
It's ok to shoot the moon
So darling
My darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Dad, It Didn't Hurt At All
A long long time ago my oldest Son Kevin fell and broke his arm.
I knew it was broken right away,it makes a sound that you don't soon forget.
He had fallen off a babys crib that he was standing on.Just playing with the other kids.
He landed on his back,his arm bent backwards.It was very hard to look at.
How many dads get that sick feeling when something bad happens to one of thier own?
The sick feeling of being helpless,how well I remember that.
I knew Kevin needed medical attention right away and I knew I would have to move his arm so I could pick him up.
A prayer said quickly,"Dear Lord Jesus help me now,You see what has happened here"?
I look at Kevin and told him,Kev,I need to move your arm,he simply said ok dad.
I picked up his arm as gently as I could,he said,Dad,that didn't hurt at all.
We knew then Jesus had heard us.
All these years later I still remember those words.
Dad,it didn't hurt at all.
Thank You Jesus.

My Blood Sugar
My blood sugar levels have been averaging 127 for the last week.
I think maybe the drugs have my insulin under control.
I do ask for your prayers tonight,the nerve damage in not under control and is spreading.
It seems to be taking the wind from my sails,and I do not like it one bit.
New drugs for this are coming Friday,it is a small hope after the last let down.
Perhaps this post is a bit selfish as I know you all have concerns of your own,but tonight I will be selfish.

Such A Welcome
There on a beach of pure white sand and gentle rolling surf
Stood Jesus
He told me He had been waiting for a long time
It was me and Him
Alone with the Savior
We spent time looking over the ocean
The questions I always had did not seem to matter
One look and I knew my faith had carried me through
There was no time now just eternity
He said there are others who want to see you
And I knew
All the troubles all the pain
Was now gone
I could run and He ran beside
Laughing too,His smile,His smile
It was my beginning
And days are now amazing
Filled with Joy forevermore
