Come, Ye Children of the Lord- The Mormon Tabernacle ChoirLyrics This song gives us a little taste of what life will be like during the Millennium. (For more information about the Millennium, click here.) Some of my favorite phrases? Oh, how joyful it will be, when our Savior we shall see! |
Do you ever wonder if there is any truth to the saying, Every cloud has silver lining?I have never really thought much about it before, but this song popped up on shuffle the other day while I was cruising in my new mini van and I couldn't help but pause and think about some of the silver linings in my life. Some are big and some are small--miniscule even--but they are always there, no matter the situation or problem. |
I hope you enjoy today's song as much as I do. It's a fun, catchy number that was part of EFY in 2014. If anything, I hope the message of looking for silver linings helps you seek out that hidden, shimmery lining in the troubled clouds that may be in your path at this moment of your life.
Silver Lining- Stephanie Smith
Sometimes there is stormy weather,
that makes us want to run for cover.
But what if we stop to look around?
And dance a little, while it's pouring,
cause living life inside is boring,
We'd be missing all the sights and sounds.
Even if the clouds are coming,
and the wind is blowing,
We can still enjoy the breeze!
'Cause we know the sun is shining,
even when it's hiding,
if we look then we can see:
The Silver Li-i-i-i-i-i-ning
The Silver Li-i-i-i-i-ning
So no matter what we're facing,
in every single situation
there is always hope to light the way!
We'll see the little things that go right,
when we're looking on the bright side.
There's always a rainbow after rain.
Even if the clouds are coming,
and the wind is blowing,
We can still enjoy the breeze!
'Cause we know the sun is shining,
even when it's hiding,
if we look then we can see:
The Silver Li-i-i-i-i-i-ning
The Silver Li-i-i-i-i-ning
If we look closer, we can see
there is beauty in everything.
In the ups, downs, and in-betweens,
We will find
Even if the clouds are coming,
and the wind is blowing,
We can still enjoy the breeze!
'Cause we know the sun is shining,
even when it's hiding,
if we look then we can see:
The Silver Li-i-i-i-i-i-ning
The Silver Li-i-i-i-i-ning
What can be done? Why doesn't God stop the madness? What can we do to combat evil? Is there any hope of a brighter tomorrow?
I don't have all the answers.
1. I have faith. Faith that there is a God out there who loves each of us and weeps every time something tragic happens to one of His children. Faith that
our Savior has already won and that someday, when the time is right, He will reign on this earth and every knee shall bow to Him and every tongue will
confess that He is our Savior and Redeemer.
2. I have hope. Hope in that same Savior and His Atoning sacrifice. Hope that there is a brighter tomorrow as we look to the Savior. Hope that someday,
Satan will be bound and we will live in peace with our neighbors, family, and friends.
3. I have peace amid the chaos. I know this is easy for me to say when I am not the one directly affected by tragedy (at the moment.) . But, I have had tragedy in my life. I have seen evil rear its ugly head and take people, whom I love dearly, captive. I have wept with those who have lost family
members to violent crimes and suffered from the consequences of someone else using his/her agency poorly. But I still have peace, because I know,
have faith in, and look to, the Savior of the World.
"I Look to You" -Selah
What is the "something more"?
Desirae Ogden
I am loving my second chance at life.
Every day is an opportunity to do good and to be a little better than the day before.
I love being a mommy.
It's my favorite thing in this world and my most important job.
