Have you guys heard the song Love like Crazy by Lee Brice? I LOVE that song. It just speaks to me. The chorus goes like this:
Be a best friend, tell the truth
And overuse “I love you”
Go to work, do your best
Don’t outsmart your common sense
Never let your prayin’ knees get lazy
And love like crazy
Those words make me cry. I have always tried to live my life this way so I’m sure that’s why the words speak to me so much. Be a best friend…I absolutely believe in being best friends with my spouse and I have always said unequivocally that he is my BEST friend. Tell the truth…honesty is so important to me. I am honest to my core. Overuse “I love you”…more love is always a good thing, and those simple words can change lives. Go to work, do your best…I believe strongly in the power of hard work. And we strive to teach our children the value of hard work and doing their best. Don’t outsmart your common sense…this one is self explanatory.
My favorite lines of all are:
Never let your Prayin’ knees get lazy
and LOVE like crazy
It has become my motto since I first heard this song.
So I decided to make a printable with this motto on it. I want to eventually make a photo collage of our family and hang this printable prominently in the center.
Please take this printable and display it in your homes. I believe that how we choose to decorate our homes sets the mood that our families feed off. And I can’t think of a better mood. Click on the image to download a high quality print. It is sized to 8 x 10 but if you need a different size, just contact me.
Here is the music video for this song. It’s worth a listen.
Ok sorry for all the sappiness {even though I mean every word} I promise to post something sarcastic soon.

Oh! Great song. Thanks for the link to that; I hadn't heard it…and forgive MY sappiness, but it totally brought tears to my eyes.
And perfect choice for the printable.
Connie,
This is a great song! I do love that quote as well! Stopping over from Jen's site! Have a great weekend!
I love that song too,, I made a poster a few months ago with some of those lines from that song. I've printed two to give to my daughters to hang in their homes when they get married.
Here's the link if you'd like to take a look .. its about mid way through that post.
