Oh, one more thing...

Okay, one more Sara Groves post.  Bear with me.  I think after this one I'll have gotten it out of my system for now.  :-)  (Plus I'm having fun with fonts & font colors.  Just bear with me.)

This is another one that makes me think, a LOT, about how I'm doing as a mom.  (This is from the "All Right Here" album also.)

Just One More Thing

There's always just one more thing.
There's always another task.
There's always, I just have one more small favor to ask.

And everything is urgent and everything is now.
I wonder what would really happen if I stopped somehow...

I'll be there in a minute.
Just a few places to go.
You wake up a few years later and your kids are grown.

And everything is important.
But everything is not.
At the end of your life your relationships are all you've got.

And love to me is when you put down that one more thing

and say, I've got something better to do.

And love to me is when you walk out on that one more thing

and say, Nothing will come between me and you.

Not even one thing...

There will never be an end to
The requests upon your time.
It's your place to stand up and tell the world
You've got to rest awhile.

And everything is important.
But everything is not.
At the end of your life your relationships are all you've got.

And love to me is when you put down that one more thing

and say, I've got something better to do.

And love to me is when you walk out on that one more thing

and say, Nothing will come between me and you.

Not even one thing...

Not even one more thing...
