Sense of Sacredness aka Today!

If a family dinner get-together with my parentsand all ten of us kids and our spouses, all present,and a slideshow of over 700 photos playing throughout the dayof us, our children and grandchildren, great-grandchildrendoes not evoke a sense of sacredness to seemingly commonplace moments as they run through our fingers, I don't know what will!That happened on Sunday. This week, as ordinary as it appears, nothing is!This morning as a new Today tumbled over earth's eastern edge,not in any kind of colorful fanfare, but more like a wet, gray dog...(or mourning doves)😂 I was again, struck by how this monotonous momentous collection of mornings eventually composes the song of Lifetime! So I put a card in the mail for an old neighbor turning 90 this week, I revived the fire, I continued working at organizing, cleaning and tidying the basement after stacking wood .. ...before two of my grandchildren came for a few hours...(while big Brother gave the dentist a bit of a challenge. ahem😐.) I washed the dishes after a lunch they half-ate ...all the while with a heaven-hinged sense of sacrednessin what at first glance definitely looks quite ordinary! It wafts from welkin wombs to where we live-laugh-love-weep-prayTo settle soft, where dusk entombs its season-sequenced play It sparkles from a single source no needle can exactAn all-encompassing discourse that leaves no one intact It tunes the timbre of a toll that rolls o’er land and seaWhile drawing the cart of the soul back to eternity Steeping the sacred commonplace with so much to hold dearAs paths no footsteps can retrace fall from the now and here Like weightless notes from welkin wombs its moments waft and splayTo settle soft where dusk entombs the tempo of Today Compelling us to take a closer look at what runs rifeThrough fingers of composers of a song that we call Life © Janet Martin Ps.90:12So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom. My family likes to sing whenever we have a chance!To close out the singing part of Sunday we,( as best as our memories could serve us)sang the song below together and THAT was thesentimental icing on the cake😭 Here are part of the lyrics  by Bill and Gloria GaitherI can't find a link with all the stanzas so not sure if a few were added later?? We have this moment to hold in our handsAnd to touch as it slips through our fingers like sandYesterday's gone and tomorrow may never comeBut we have this moment, today. Hold tight to the sound of the music of livingHappy sounds from the laughter of children at playHold my hand as we walk through the sweet fragrant meadowsMaking memories of what was today. Tiny voice that I hear is my little girl callingFor daddy to hear just what she has to sayMy little boy running there by the hillsideMay never be quite like today. Tender words gentle touch and a good cup of coffeeAnd someone who loves me and wants me to stayHold them dear while they’re near don’t wait for tomorrowTo look back and wish for today. Yesterday's gone and tomorrow may never comebut we have this moment, today. Oh! You were trying to see the recipe in the one photo above?!This, (making it for supper but using ground beef!)
