This means we are called to work in close contact with others, to be the ones who engage with humanity at every level. This is a messy calling! It is not a setting apart from life, it\u2019s about being called into participation! Every other soul I encounter is, like me, finding a path through the wonders of this world and navigating the impact of the fall of humanity. This means that human relationships will always be the place where the legacy of Christs sacrifice, and his loving grace has the most poignancy.&nbsp; This is especially true in our close relationships! These are the friendships where our true colours can be seen. These are the people who are around us when life is stressful &#8211; who navigate our weaknesses, our frustrations, and our anger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9RfHehpV3yU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This song flowed out of me after a \u201cmissed moment\u201d. It is still a significant one for me, as I am still learning how to express my love. I find it hard to remember to say the little things that I really want to. Sometimes I freeze, and the moment passes without me seizing it in the way I want to! As my parents grow older, I do not want to miss out on saying the important things. I know I can be so grumpy with the children; I need to remember to say and remind them that I love them. So fond greetings, treasured goodbyes, and the courage to say how I feel is an area I am working on! I really hope that if you too find you \u201cmiss the moment\u201d that this song might help to remind you to have courage in expressing your feelings, whether it\u2019s in apology, an encouragement or \u201cjust some words of love each day\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>I Missed The Moment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I missed the moment <br>And it&#8217;s a moment I can&#8217;t forget<br>I missed the moment <br>My body froze and I let it slip<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So many words I throw away, so many things I&#8217;d rather say<br>Just one touch would save the day, instead I lost the chance<br>Again the moments fly so fast, I wish that I could make them last<br>Long enough for me to say, just some words of love each day<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I&#8217;ll take each moment <br>For every moment brings promises<br>I&#8217;ll take each moment <br>Embrace the chance that we have to give<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I pledge to change my ways, and say the words it&#8217;s tough to say<br>Practise each and every day, let my feelings show be brave<br>So much we have to share, let you know how much I care<br>Take each chance, seize each day, find some words of love today<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love you so, I love you so, I love you so,<br>I love you so, I love you so,<br>So I pledge to change my ways, and say the words it&#8217;s tough to say<br>Practise each and every day, let my feelings show be brave<br>I love you so, I love you so, I love you so<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I&#8217;ll take each moment <br>For every moment brings promises<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Words &amp; music by Neil Haydock &amp; Julie Palmer \u00a9 Copyright 2021 Capernaum Publishing, England.
