While we were in Colorado, the band, Blue County played their new single, I Get To. Since then I listen to it often and would like to share it with you. The message is simple and I hope that it will mean as much to you as it does me.
We all know there is much we take for granted, now more than ever. Unfortunately it seems it is not until we are faced with a life threatening illness or tragedy that we realize how much. There are times we all have opportunities to do things and we may pass them up because we don't want to, or it interferes with something we would rather do or it is just inconvenient. Well now I can find myself so tired or not feeling well and Luke will ask me to play catch, or kick ball and I may have put him off before saying I have to clean the house or do laundry. Not now, I will muster what I need so I can because I get to. There are definitely days I don't want to go to work, I would just like to stay in bed but I go because I get to. I may not want to go to that birthday party on the other side of town but, I do because I get to. I am sure you see where I am going with this. If each of us would just take one day and pause each time we say we have to do something, I bet we would all feel differently about it and just maybe at the end of the day those things that you said you had to do will become more of a gift than a chore.
There's alot of things we don't have to do...we get to.
So, say I love you first today because you get to.
You can listen to I Get To at http://www.bluecountyfans.com/, enjoy!
Our prayer is that when people hear us, they know that what we do isn't about us -- it's about them. It’s about touching the lives of everyday people.” - Aaron Benward of Blue County
