Reflections on the Fourth of July

It seems everyone is out partying, having a great time. Such is the way you should celebrate a birth...
The Fourth of July for my family was always somethign a little different. It wasn't just the birth of our nation...but the birth of my grandmother. We always used to say the fireworks weren't just for the fourth of july and our independence. But they were to celebrate the birth of one of the most kind, caring and wonderful woman that God ever gave to this planet.
She was the woman who introduced me to the Catholic faith. Who helped me to celebrate that faith while I was younger. She was the woman who introduced the family to its love of Music. She was the one who taught my family the importance OF family. She taught me that life was not so bad at times. She taught me to be strong as she had survived breast cancer for many many years.
As you probably can tell from the past tense of the words, she passed away 8 years ago this August from complications from a stroke and cancer. And I will always remember and miss her. Our family hasn't been the same since she died. At least not in my opinion. I will always miss my grandma. I just wish i knew if she would be proud of me..if she'd be proud of where I am in life...with what i was doing...with..me..
I love you grandma....
And Yes I wrote this last year, same words and I will continue to write this in memory of my Grandmother..every year..
"And he will raise you up, on eagles wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun. And hold you in the palm, of his hands" - On Eagles Wings

You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
Who abide in His shadow for life,
Say to the Lord, "My Refuge,
My Rock in Whom I trust."
Refrain
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
The snare of the fowler will never capture you,
And famine will bring you no fear;
Under His Wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield.
Refrain
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
You need not fear the terror of the night,
Nor the arrow that flies by day,
Though thousands fall about you,
Near you it shall not come.
Refrain
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
For to His angels He's given a command,
To guard you in all of your ways,
Upon their hands they will bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
Refrain
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.

Here I am Lord
1. I the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry
All who dwell in dark and sin,
My hand will save,
I who made the stars of night
I will make their darkness bright
Who will bear my light to them,
Whom shall I send?
Chorus
Here I am, Lord, Is it I Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night
I will go, Lord, If You lead me
I will hold Your people in my heart.
2. I, the Lord of snow and rain
I have borne my people's pain
I have wept for love of them
They turn away
I will break their hearts of stone
Give them hearts of love alone
I will speak my word to them,
Whom Shall I send?
Here I am, Lord, Is it I Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night
I will go, Lord, If You lead me
I will hold Your people in my heart.
3. I, the Lord of wind and flame
I will tend the poor and lame
I will set a feast for them,
My hand will save
Finest bread I will provide
Till their hearts be satisfied
I will give my life to them,
Whom shall I send?
Chorus
Here I am, Lord, Is it I Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night
I will go, Lord, If You lead me
I will hold Your people in my heart.
Amazing Grace
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught...
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.
When we've been here ten thousand years...
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
then when we've first begun.
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see. (end)
