Need a new song?
Last night around 10:00 I was getting ready to sit down and write a post about what we’ve been doing these past few days. But, then, I suddenly remembered we were out of milk and butter, and I decided to run to the grocery store and grab those essentials while I could do so by myself. {It’s always easier to run to Kroger alone, even if it were say 3:00 in the morning and pouring rain, than to take all three girls with me during daytime hours. Way easier.} So, I hopped in the car, popped in the CD I got for Mother’s Day, and landed on a song with some of the simplest, most profound lyrics I’ve heard in a long, long time.
And, these lyrics. They made me think.
I thought about how they apply to me right here and right now… when the days are long and the nights seem too short. When the demands of three little people are more than my weak flesh and impatient spirit can handle with grace. When I’m not sure I’m making all the right decisions about… well, anything.
Already all I need.
And, then, I thought of you…
Of course, I don’t know exactly who reads here or who doesn’t. But, I’m assuming most all of you are friends and family. And, that being the case, I know tidbits of what you’re going through. And, I can only imagine that these lyrics would speak to you… and your situations… and your needs… in much the same way.
I’ve been a Christy Nockels fan for years. Her voice, her style, her honesty… but, this one, it has to be my new favorite.
I don’t often use this blog to recommend songs or books or movies. But, I’m telling you. This one is worth the $1.29 download.
You can hear a little preview here. It’s track #11.
And, if you like this one, splurge on the whole album. There are more upbeat songs on there, too. Whatever your preference, I just don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
