Ordinary Time
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Friday, April 23, 2010
Fr. John’s post today reminded me of one of my favorite songs - “Ordinary Time” by the amazing Catholic recording artist Marie Bellet. I shared Marie’s song last week with a group of moms in a retreat setting, and saw more than a few eyes welling up with tears of sentiment. Being a mom is many things: fulfilling, inspiring, exhausting, joyful, frustrating—you name it! And if you don’t like the day you’re having, wait half an hour and see what unfolds next! I think this song by Marie Bellet so beautifully captures the fleeting season of motherhood and reminds us to fully embrace it in all that it entails. Here is Marie’s video, as my gift to you today and a reminder that Ordinary Time is a true blessing, and never boring!
