00:00:06,430 --> 00:00:09,630
One of my favorite memories 
growing up was staying up late 

2
00:00:09,630 --> 00:00:13,990
in my room listening to music on
my lime green iPod mini when I 

3
00:00:13,990 --> 00:00:20,150
was supposed to be sleeping. 
This was a middle school when I 

4
00:00:20,150 --> 00:00:23,030
was really starting to form 
opinions about what I liked when

5
00:00:23,030 --> 00:00:26,910
I didn't. 
My favorite band from that time 

6
00:00:26,910 --> 00:00:29,190
was The Beatles. 
I was obsessed. 

7
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,160
I listened to The Beatles so 
much that when I was riding with

8
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:35,800
my mom in the car, she would 
only allow me to play The 

9
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,320
Beatles on Friday because she 
was so sick of listening to 

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:43,320
them. 
When I was young I loved Paul 

11
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,640
McCartney, but as I got older I 
found myself drawn to George 

12
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:53,280
Harrison, the quiet Beetle. 
He was probably the least famous

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,880
of The Beatles, but he wrote 
some of their best songs. 

14
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,760
Interestingly, George was never 
respected as a songwriter in the

15
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,560
same way that John and Paul 
were, but in my opinion he had 

16
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,720
the best solo career after The 
Beatles broke up. 

17
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,120
My favorite album of his was a 
triple album called All Things 

18
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,080
Must Pass. 
The title track of the album has

19
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,800
the lyrics. 
Sunrise doesn't last all 

20
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,960
morning. 
A cloudburst doesn't last all 

21
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:25,680
day. 
Seems my love is up and is left 

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,080
you with no warning. 
It's not always going to be this

23
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,040
Gray. 
All things must pass, all things

24
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:38,040
must pass away. 
In Hebrews they say something 

25
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,760
similar. 
Everyone must die once and after

26
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:47,400
that be judged by God. 
In Psalms they say it like this.

27
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,880
Teach us to number our days, 
that we make it a heart of 

28
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,280
wisdom. 
It's a strange thing to think 

29
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,680
about. 
All the things that we care 

30
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,440
about, all the things that we 
work towards, they're temporary.

31
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,400
They'll eventually be washed 
away and forgotten. 

32
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,800
And it's it's so hard to live 
our lives with open hands. 

33
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,680
But in realizing that everything
is temporary, it grants us the 

34
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,080
freedom to love and appreciate 
every moment that we are given 

35
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:27,200
by God. 
Today, I'm thankful for things 

36
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,480
passing because it's a reminder 
of why we love them so much in 

37
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,520
the first place. 
You've been listening to 

38
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,880
everyday miracles by hope, 
mindfulness, and prayer.
