Yesterday I heard the Martina McBride song "Anyway" on the radio. These words struck a cord with me:
"You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
And in a moment they can choose to walk away
Love 'em anyway"
I got to thinking about the people that I used to have the chance to love, but don't anymore.
They moved, I moved, they quit the church, they got busy, I got busy, we grew apart, there are a multitude of reasons. Usually when I think of them, I feel sad. It hurts to lose them, but the message is powerful: love them anyway. Yesterday, I just thought about how good it was to love them, for the time that we had together. That was a different way to look at things, and a better way for my heart.
And I know I would love them again if I had the chance. Thank you God for the gift of love, even when it is only for a short while.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

That's one of my favorite songs. I like what it says about praying too.
"God is great
But sometimes life ain't good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway"
Helps me to remember that it's not supposed to be my way but His way.
