I have been thinking about the families of those who have lost their babies recently. Those mentioned here on this sight and those at Riley, those we did get to know and those we didn't. I don't know why they have been on my mind so much lately, except they continue to serve as a reminder of how close we came to that sort of unimagineable grief. We are so grateful for Gabe and still so heartsick for those who didn't receive the miracle they were praying for. Their courage and strength in the face of such a trial amazes me and reminds me to cherish those I love and strive not to take them for granted. My ipod helped me so many times when I felt overwhelmed. There were so many songs I listened to over and over, but there was one from Allison Krauss that keeps coming to mind. When we are scared or grieving, we feel alone at times, no matter how much support we have in place. This song carried me through those times when I felt isolated in my fear and worry. I never had to experience the grief.
A Living Prayer
Allison Krauss
In this world I walk alone.
With no place to call my home
But there's one who holds my hand
The rugged road through barren lands
The way is dark, the road is steep
But He's become my eyes to see
The strength to climb, my griefs to bear
The Savior lives inside me there
In Your love I find release
A haven from my unbelief
Take my life and let me be
A living prayer, my God to Thee
In these trials of life I find
Another voice inside my mind
He comforts me and bids me live
Inside the love the Father gives
In Your love I find release
A haven from my unbelief
Take my life and let me be
A living prayer, my God to Thee
Take my life and let me be
A living prayer, my God to Thee
