Little Wonders

I added a song to my playlist from the movie, "Meet the Robinsons". It is Miriam and Shaylynn's new obsession. This song has hit my heart like a....well, I don't know, but I LOVE it! Listen carefully to the words. I'm going to include the lyrics in this post so you can read what the words are, but I think the music is fantastic. It's sung by Rob Thomas and is called "Little Wonders".

When I listen to this song I can't help but think of how it's so easy to get caught in the misery of life and forget that we are being refined in the refiners fire. Satan would have us feel discouraged and frustrated, but if we have faith in Heavenly Father and persevere, we will come out on the other side stronger. The trick is to have faith that He will not abandon us even though Satan is whispering in our ears. It's important to remember negative thoughts come from Satan. A loving Heavenly Father would NOT say those things to us. He is there as our support and cheering squad. Pray often and hang on tight, things will work out, somehow.

let it go,
let it roll right off your shoulder
don’t you know
the hardest part is over
let it in,
let your clarity define you
in the end
we will only just remember how it feels

our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain

let it slide,
let your troubles fall behind you
let it shine
until you feel it all around you
and i don’t mind
if it’s me you need to turn to
we’ll get by,
it’s the heart that really matters in the end

our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain

all of my regret
will wash away some how
but i can not forget
the way i feel right now

in these small hours
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away but these small hours
these small hours, still remain,
still remain
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away
but these small hours
these little wonders still remain
