let’s get it started

Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

- Psalm 90:12

 

Many of us have experienced the loss of a loved one this past year, perhaps it was someone you have been very close to, or maybe just a friend, but when they leave earth to go to Heaven, we often find ourselves wishing that we had more time with them.

Let’s start the new year with a song reference!

If I had only known the last time would be the last time

I would've put off all the things I had to do

I would've stayed a little longer, held on a little tighter

Now what I'd give for one more day with you

'Cause there's a wound here in my heart where something's missing

And they tell me that it's gonna heal with time

But I know you're in a place where all your wounds have been erased

And knowing yours are healed is healing mine

The only scars in heaven, they won't belong to me and you

There'll be no such thing as broken, and all the old will be made new

And the thought that makes me smile now, even as the tears fall down

Is that the only scars in heaven are on the hands that hold you now

I know the road you walked was anything but easy

You picked up your share of scars along the way

Oh, but now you're standing in the sun, you've fought your fight and your race is run

The pain is all a million miles away

The only scars in heaven, they won't belong to me and you

There'll be no such thing as broken, and all the old will be made new

And the thought that makes me smile now, even as the tears fall down

Is that the only scars in heaven, yeah, are on the hands that hold you now

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, for the hands that hold you now

There's not a day goes by that I don't see you

You live on in all the better parts of me

Until I'm standing with you in the sun, I'll fight this fight and this race I'll run

Until I finally see what you can see, oh-oh

The only scars in heaven, they won't belong to me and you

There'll be no such thing as broken, and all the old will be made new

And the thought that makes me smile now, even as the tears fall down

Is that the only scars in heaven are on the hands that hold you now

This song was released in June 2021, but I did not hear it until quite a bit later, and I am not sure I listened to it until after my mom died, and it stopped me in my tracks.

Our days are numbered, losing someone we love (Betty White!!!!!) should show us that we cannot take for granted that we have a tomorrow. 
God has given us a gift, let us open our hearts to fill them with the wisdom that He is the way, the truth, the life.

Always.
