Little Wonders

Please Listen, read along, and hear my thoughts.

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

     This is the theme song we're using at my school for your annual charity drive this year. We have one more week. I've moved past worrying about the total of what we might make and I've decided that I won't let other people tell me they didn't like certain things ruin the way I feel when it's something that's nearly sacred to me. The feelings and the truth that you feel as you service others is unbelievable. I love that this song was chosen because I feel like it embodies Silver Rush. It's the little wonders, in our small hours of service with the twists and turns of fate that make it what it is. Silver Rush would not be so special to all of us if it wasn't the little things, the small and simple things that change our perspective and change how we feel about life. I realize that we have moments where we feel the spirit so strongly that we declare our determination to change and to be a new person completely and then as time goes by, the rush wears off and we forget abut those experiences. But I hope I will always carry apart of the service I do as a student at Riverton High Silver Rush as part of me for the rest of my life. I don't want to let it fade. It's the greatest reminder of the things that are wonderful in life aren't the times we're focused on ourselves and they're not the times we spend with friends necessarily but the times we think about people we know and love and even more the people we don't know and love anyway. Those people who see who are different that you in so many ways but you can't help but notice that they go to school too, they have friends kind of like yours and you love them for their quirks and just because you know who they are in some small way that they might not even recognize. There's nothing quite like the love you can feel for someone, for any one, when you let yourself. It's a miracle! A wonder that you can find yourself loving people so much and you never run out of love. Love is an active, excited, powerful action and feeling. The beautiful thing about love is how many different ways you can share your love, and it all still means "I love you" and everyone understands that. Elder Uchtdorf said everyone understands "the universal language of Christ's love." And, you know, he's right. As he often is. And I realize that sometimes love doesn't come easily but sometimes the love that takes a little work is the love most worth fighting for and sometimes you find you love someone instantly, treasure that too because you don't find it often enough. But never let yourself not love because there is SO much worth loving in everyone you meet. Let love create the little wonders in you life. Let yourself be guided in love and in the small moments, the small hours of your life. Love doesn't take a lot of time to give. Just love and never stop. Let the little wonders take over in your life.
