DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME

It’s time for a “time change” again.  This is a rerun of my 03/08/08 post:

Well, it’s time to SPRING FORWARD again. At this house, that just means resetting the time on a few inanimate objects. But….you wouldn’t believe what a big deal this used to be for the older members of our family. They dreaded it, complained about it, didn’t accept it, only paid attention to it when forced to with regard to appointments and TV schedule. A conversation before, during and after the spring and fall time changes between Mom (my mother) and Granny (my MIL) always included: “I wish they’d quit changing the time.” “Well, I’m not going to change my clock. I’ll just go by “Old” time.” “I’m only going to change one clock.” “It’s 4:00 now – that would be 3:00 “Old” time.” “It’s at 7:00? Do you mean “Old” time or “New” time?” “I don’t know why they have to mess with the time.” “Well, I’m glad they changed back to “Old” time.” Granny is the only one who is still with us, but time and other things don’t affect her now. She’ll be 97 years old in April. Granny may not know what time it is now, but she still has a smile and tells everyone exactly what she wants them to do. Go Granny!

Here’s an informational page about Daylight Saving Time and Maxine’s view on this subject.

THEN SINGS MY SOUL: WHEN I CRY

When I Cry
Written by Benjy Gaither and Marshall Hall

Makin’ a list of all of the good things You’ve done for me
Lord, I’ve never been one to complain
But right now I’m lost and I can’t find my way
My world’s come apart and it’s breakin’ my heart
But it helps to know Your heart is breakin’ too

When I cry, You cry
When I hurt, You hurt
When I’ve lost someone
It takes a piece of You, too
And when I fall on my face
You fill me with grace
‘Cause nothin’ breaks Your heart
Or tears You apart
Like when I cry

Alone in the dark, face in my hands, crying out to You
Lord, there’s never been a time in my life
There’s so much at stake, there’s so much to lose
But I trust it to You
You’ll bring me through
And it helps me to know that I’m not alone

When I cry, You cry
When I hurt, You hurt
When I’ve lost someone
It takes a piece of You, too
And when I fall on my face
You fill me with grace
‘Cause nothin’ breaks Your heart
Or tears You apart
Like when I cry

You’re the one who calmed the raging sea
You’re the one who made the blind to see
You looked through all of heaven and eternity
And through it all you saw me…

When I cry, You cry
When I hurt, You hurt
And when I’ve lost someone it takes a piece of You, too
When I fall on my face, You fill me with grace
Nothing breaks your heart, or tears you apart
Like when I cry
