Throughout my life there have been times
I’ve caught a glimpse of Heavens light,
Shining down upon this world of sin
I pause to take a look around,
I see the blessings in my life
Lord, You’ve sent us earth angels.
Chorus:
No, they don’t have wings
But they flutter in and we are,
Never the same again
For they have changed our lives.
Lord, You’ve sent us earth angels.
Family and friends are by my side
Through them you have lifted me,
And showed me just how much You care
As I walk my pace slows down, I stay behind
To glimpse upon Your earth angels.
Chorus.
I see a child cling to Mom and Dad
You’ve given them the gift of life,
When I get to hold them close, I see
The ray of hope I thought was lost
The miracle of life in disguise.
Chorus.
Some do have wings and have already taken flight
Loved but too precious to stay,
And so you called our Angel home
Before we ever held her close,
Baby you’ll live on in our hearts.
Chorus:
Yes, some have wings
They flutter in and we are,
Never the same again
For they have changed our lives
Lord, please hold our Angel close.
I really don't have a whole lot to write these days, not for lack of not trying though. It's just that either I don't have time or I'm ways to tired to write anything that makes sense. But this blog is in need of an update thus the lyrics.
Something I wrote back and January when I became the Auntie of ~Baby Angela~. I don't pretend to be good or claim to be a good writer, just so you know. I just write what comes to mind and as lifes moments bring pain and heartache we still have to take the time to remember the blessings. I guess writing is a way of coping with the 'not so pleasant' moments that life throws our way. It's supposed to be sung to the meoldy of 'Born A Star-by the Waldner Messengers'...with a few altered twists or whatever you want to call it. It was a little difficult to write it to that melody and get it to flow smoothly because the first verse has 6 lines and the others 5. And I don't know if it's a big deal that I used 'I' in the verses and 'we' for the chorus, but it made sense at the time. Now sing it for me and send me a recording..haha.
Written for my friends and in Memory of our baby Angel.

Spring break is here!!!!!! I don't know what to expect though. Will I get some sleep in? I’ll probably try, but no matter how much I'd love to get some shut-eye during the day sometimes, for just an hour, sleep manages to elude me. I just can’t get my brain to slow down enough.
I think it's going to be like every other holiday- I'll enjoy at least one or maybe even two days of it and then I'll go crazy without the constant bustle of school and preparation for the next big project. The worst part of it all is breaks are when I actually get time to THINK- and that's scary, really, really scary! :)
To Do:
-Finish embroidering border on my dress
-Plan a Spring theme for school
-Plan a Social Studies Unit (if I'm really ambitious)
-Sew Human Rights Quilt for school
Now I just need encouragement to get all that done. I’m sure could add more but that’s what came to mind at the moment.
I couldn’t bring myself to make my students do work on the last day before spring break. Actually, truth is I was tired and decided we’d have a fun day. So last night I wrecked my brain for a fun activity to do and I decided we’d make Easter Bunnies out of clay and Model Magic. Of course, I gave them the ‘Easter bunnies have nothing to do with Easter’ speech first and then we were off. They did a super job and they look so cute. I got the idea from Madimaginations. She made hers out of fimo instead of clay. When we were done I sealed them with a layer of Modge Podge (awesome craft glue) and the kiddies proudly took their Bunnies home. (Mine is the 3rd one from the left)
