Gordon Lightfoot the storyteller

Last night I had the privilege of going to a Gordon Lightfoot concert, it only took 33 years to see him.  Gordon Lightfoot was phenomenal!  Even after his stroke, he performed like the story teller he is. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to finally see one of many of my favorite artists.  Unfortunately, I went to the concert alone.  Not many of my friends are big fans of Mr. Lightfoot, but it did not matter because I had a wonderful time! Being in a Gordon Lightfoot concert is like sitting around a cozy living room and listening to a fantastic story teller.  I am truly blessed to enjoy the very things that bless my heart.  Thank you, Mr. Lightfoot, for many years of wonderful music that you brought to many of us who love you.  I believe your music will carry on to another generation, who will come to appreciate it as much as many of us have.

Seize the Day

Five years ago today my son, Sergio, passed away.  I wish I could say that the pain from losing a child decreases and it does a little, but I miss him very much.  I was thinking about Sergio today and when he was younger. I would play a Carolyn Arends song called, "Seize the Day."  I would put her tape in my momobile and Sergio, Nathaniel and I would sing along to this inspiring song.  I believe with all my heart that both my boys seized every day for God's glory.  My imperfect, broken son's, whom I love very much. Thank You, Father, for giving me the opportunity to be a mother to Sergio.  It was an honor and privilege to know him, and thank you, Father, that I am still here to continue to be a mother to my son, Nathaniel.
