Angels by Amy Grant
I am not a religious man by any traditional sense of that word, however, there are things that I believe in and trust, just on faith. When I was young, I learned the definition of faith was “the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.“. It has taken most of my adult life to understand, at least in part what that means and that is, I now comprehend that there are things in this world that are beyond my limited comprehension, but are nonetheless true and reliable. One of these is that “ I trust that everything happens for a reason and universe is unfolding as it should.” I just have to do the best I can with each day and even the most seemingly boneheaded moves will lead me to where I need to be. With patience and trust, things will show themselves in their own time if I just pay attention and stay open to it. Takes a lot of pressure off and saves a lot of time and energy wasted in anger, self pity and remorse. The universe takes care of the rest. Call them coincidences, luck, near misses, or Angels… if you learn to watch for them, you will see it in action.
I’m Movin On by Rascal Flats
I’ve had a weird run the last couple of years which came to an end in April of this year when I finally pulled myself together and decided I needed some help. After some very difficult phone calls to those that I love, I brought myself to a screeching halt and entered a 30 day program. The first few days were really difficult and I was an beaten exhausted emotional train wreck. It was about the third day, I sat in auditorium with 50 or 60 other guys and the speaker used this song to close his presentation. The enormity of my situation hit me like a ton of bricks, and the tears started to flow uncontrollably to the point I had to leave the room and sit in the hallway shaking. The truths contained in this song, were some of the first steps towards climbing out of the hole I had spent many years digging for myself. I’ve been climbing since…
God Bless The Broken Road
Performed by Carrie Underwood
… Two cliches really stand out to be these days. The first is “Hindsight is 20/20” and the second, “Everything happens for a reason”. The last couple years have taught me much, but nothing more important than these two truths. It took the “wrong turns” to arrive at the destination I’ve been seeking for years. I’m at peace with that and filled with both gratitude and wonder at how things worked together to bring me to where I was supposed to be.
Masterpiece by Jesse J
“ I still fall on my face sometimes and I can’t color inside the lines. I am perfectly incomplete, I am still working on my masterpiece.“. There is not really anything I can add to that.
In closing, let me just say this. Life is Good. I have people that love me and I love. I have a future unfolding in front of me that I had lost sight of for many years, and I have a life that is filled with challenge, happiness, hope, wonder and contentment. Yes definitely, Life is Good. Thanks for reading…
