Even if this wasn't written in my bible, for those we love it's easy to do. In fact, I think it's actually harder for the forgiven to accept. It's easy to take things out on people we love most, because we know they are safe. The words said in anger are just deep frustrations that need to be vented. Only those that love you know that it's not your true self, but life just getting you down. I've learned to be patient let the storm pass, and wait. Instead of anger to show love and understanding, and in return I get it back.

Fly away home

I'll Fly Away

Some bright morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To that home on Gods celestial shore
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

When the shadows of this life have gone
I'll fly away
Like a bird from these prison walls I'll fly
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

Oh how glad and happy when we meet
I'll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet
I'll fly away

I'll fly away oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

I'll fly away oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joys will never end
I'll fly away

I'll fly away oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
I'll fly away

I'm at a loss for words, this has been a very hard week loosing two grandma's. So much will never be the same. Seeing the strength that both of these ladies possessed makes me continue on, and aspire to be greater. Someday I too will fly away, it's up to me now to make the most of this life God has given me.
