A Hero Lies in You - Be YOUR OWN best friend!

I was thinking of this song tonight... and remembered what my mom told me a little while ago. Be YOUR own best friend. It's a novel idea, but one we probably don't realize! Mariah Carey sure did have some good songs back in the day! And this one is no exception...

HERO

Enjoy the lyrics:

There's a hero If you look inside your heart

You don't have to be afraid Of what you are

There's an answer If you reach into your soul

And the sorrow that you know Will melt away

And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you

"It's a long road When you face the world alone

No one reaches out a hand For you to hold

You can find love If you search within yourself

And the emptiness you felt Will disappear

And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you

Lord knows Dreams are hard to follow

But don't let anyone Tear them away

Hold on There will be tomorrow

In time You'll find the way

And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you"

I love the Christmas season. I love the music and the lights and the Spirit surrounding this holiday, not to mention taking time for family and friends and service and sharing and giving. And speaking of giving...

My favorite Chrismas quote:

"He who gives of his money - gives MUCH.

He who gives of his time - gives MORE.

He who gives of himself gives ALL."
