No doubt, you've heard the phrase, "If the shoe fits, wear it!" Well, as I was emailing my sweet friend Suzi these words reorganized theirselves in my head to speak of another truth, "If the song fits, sing it!"
.
Songs pop in my head all the time ... that's why I like to sing in my community chorale. It's like a big candy store -- I learn a new song and it's there, in my head forever ... and yes, like candy, it tastes so good!

The song that came to my head this morning is a sweet old gospel hymn that reached out and calmed down my worries like David's harp. We all experience these but to each of us, me too, they are personal ... losses in life like getting older or losing loved ones or even having the rug pulled out from under my friend's feet. If you know the tune, listen to the music in your head ...
God understands your sorrow,
He sees the falling tear,
God understands your heartache,
He knows the bitter pain;
And whispers, "I am with thee,"
What a gift, a divine luxury, to massage these words over and over in my head and know that Jesus is sitting right down beside those I love in their hard times.
Today, this article is dedicated to my Mom, my friend Sandy in Georgia, my cousin LJ, and of course, my singing friend Pepper in the hospital. God love you all!
