I’ve decided that I need to post some of the song lyrics that I’ve heard lately that have encouraged me or helped me. The first is Stephen Curtis Chapman’s<\/a> Miracle of the moment. These in particular hit home:<\/p>\n

So breathe it in and breathe it out
\nListen to your heartbeat
\nThere’s a wonder in the here and now
\nIt’s right there in front of you
\nAnd I don’t want you to miss the miracle of the moment
\nAnd if it brings you tears
\nThen taste them as they fall
\nAnd let them soften your heart
\nAnd if it brings you laughter
\nThen throw your head back
\nAnd let it go, let it go
\nYou gotta let it go<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Schaefer guys tend to be a little, uh, uptight about how things go. There’s a right way for things to go and if they don’t go that way (they frequently don’t), we get a little, uh, frazzled. Those who know us know that’s a little, uh, understated<\/em>.
\nThese lyrics helped me see that wile I was worked up about getting things right, I was missing the moments. While I was fuming about not having things just so, life was passing by.
\nSo now, I try to hear that song in my head, and breathe in and breathe out as I feel my temperature rise. I try to look around and see the wonder, right there in front of me. There’s an awful lot of it, if you’ll let yourself notice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
