An Amazing Day To Be Alive...

I am reminded again today, what an amazing time in history I live in.

As I've watched all morning the Inauguration events of the 44th president of the United States of America and witnessed the historical moments taking place, I feel alive.

I feel alive because of the concern I have for our country and our world. For the feeling of expectancy that has come over me for the future. For the dismay I feel as I listen to the wording of speeches and interviews, knowing none is said by accident or coincidence. For the joy that I have for a future brighter than ever before. For the peace I feel knowing that nevertheless, God is in control. For the patriotism I feel for the country I love despite our flaws.

I am alive because I can feel. No matter the range of emotions, it's exhilarating to live in such exciting times.

Agree or disagree with our new president, it's time to back the office, which is different then backing an individual. With respect to the different views of other bloggers who may read this, I have reasons to feel trepidation toward the man now holding the highest office in the world. But, I believe that this nation still finds favor with God and so I back the office and administration that leads our nation. I urge everyone to do the same.

Breathe.

All is well.

No reason for fear or doubt.

The world is in His hands.

I am in His hands.

...And He has allowed me to live.

What an Amazing Day to be Alive!

I'M ALIVE

(Celine Dion)

I get wings to fly
Oh I'm alive...

When you call on me
When I hear you breathe
I get wings to fly
I feel that I’m alive

When you look at me
I can touch the sky
I know that I’m alive

When you bless the day
I just drift away
All my worries die
I’m glad that I’m alive

You’ve set my heart on fire
Filled me with love
Made me a woman
On clouds above

I couldn’t get much higher
My spirit takes flight
Cause I am alive

When you call on me
When I hear you breathe
I feel that I’m alive
I am alive

When you reach for me
Raising spirits high
God knows that

That I’ll be the one
Standing by
Through good and
Through trying times

And it’s only begun
I can’t wait for the
Rest of my life

I know that I’m alive

I get wings to fly
God knows that I’m alive

God Bless America!
