How do you measure the joys of an auntie?

In fabulous outfits

In rough and tumble games

In "I want to watch him sleep" moments

In bedtime bonding

In slumber

In funny poses

In two's

In hide and seek

In birth

...and so much more.

I miss the boys and our princess terribly :O(

I Can Only Imagine.

Heto ang bagong "comfort song" ko. Una kong narinig ito nang buksan ko ang isang link sa email na ipinadala sa akin sa yahoogroups. (Para pakinggan ang buong kanta ni Ronnie Kimball, i-click ang link na ito.)

I Can Only Imagine

(Vocal Performance by Ronnie Kimball)

I can only imagine

What it will be like

When I walk by your side

I can only imagine

What my eyes will see

When your face is before me

I can only imagine

Yeah

Surrounded by your glory

What will my heart feel?

Will I dance for you, Jesus?

Or in awe of you be still?

Will I stand in your presence?

Or to my knees will I fall?

Will I sing hallelujah?

Will I be able to speak at all?

I can only imagine

I can only imagine

I can only imagine

When that day comes

And I find myself

Standing in the Son

I can only imagine

When all I will do
Is forever
Forever worship you

I can only imagine

Yeah

I can only imagine

Surrounded by your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus?
Or in awe of you be still?
Will I stand in your presence?
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah?
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine

Yeah
I can only imagine

Surrounded by your glory

What will my heart feel?

Will I dance for you, Jesus?

Or in awe of you be still?

Will I stand in your presence?

Or to my knees will I fall?

Will I sing hallelujah?

Will I be able to speak at all?

I can only imagine
Yeah

I can only imagine

I can only imagine

Yeah

I can only imagine

I can only imagine

Yeah

I can only imagine

I can only imagine

When all I'll do

Is forever

Forever worship you.
