September 2025
Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

1-20-13 One Day At A Time

I love to play the piano. I don’t get to play as much as I’d like, but on the other hand, I’m able to play now more than when I had babies and little ones.

One of my very favorite songs to play is One Day At A Time by Marijohn Wilkin and Kris Kristofferson. I’ve been playing it since before I got married which was almost 21 years ago, but I never had music for it. This year for Christmas I received a hymnbook called Heartland Hymns, and after 21 years I now have the music and lyrics to One Day At A Time.  Which simply means that now Tori can learn it too, and others can learn the lyrics also. Which is wonderful.

Just in case you don’t know the words to this inspiring song, here it is.

One Day At A Time (Heartland Hymns,  #291)

I’m only human, I’m just a woman,

Help me believe in what I could be and all that I am:

Show me the stairway I have to climb,

Lord for my sake teach me to take one day at a time.

One day at a time, Sweet Jesus, that’s all I’m asking from You,

Just give me the strength to do every day what I have to do;

Yesterday’s gone, Sweet Jesus, and tomorrow may never be mine,

Lord help me today, show me the way one day at a time.

Do you remember when you walked among men,

Well Jesus, You know if You’re looking below that it’s worse now than then;

Pushin’ and shovin’, crowding my mind,

So for my sake, Lord, teach me to take one day at a time.

One day at a time, Sweet Jesus, that’s all I’m asking from You,

Just give me the strength to do every day what I have to do;

Yesterday’s gone, Sweet Jesus, and tomorrow may never be mine,

Lord help me today, show me the way one day at a time.

 

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24
