I'm not a big gospel music fan. But my H has played this one song over and over again since before D-day. Remember that work-a-holic fog I was in and missed all the signs of the affair? That was one sign that totally blew past me.<P>But anyway. The song has now became our strength. We listen to it for inspiration. It has a simple verse that hits home for me and I wanted to share.<P>The song is by Donnie McClurkin. It's a church song he re-did called We Fall Down. It goes like this:<P>We fall down, but we get up.<BR>For a saint is just a sinner who fell down,<BR>and got up.<P>It's a beautiful song. And I think my H must have listened to it and stuggled to tell me about OW/OC so many times. Now I feel comfort when I hear it because I know we are all human and in God's eyes, we are good. And he loves us even more when we "get up" and do the right thing.<P>Just an inspirational moment brought to you by the Zebra who is having a good day by the way!

Hi Zebra! Those good days are oh so sweet, arent they... [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<BR>Havent heard the song though. My favorite gospel is "Hi Eyes Are on the Sparrow". Know that one? A friend of mine in college used to sing it all the time and she had such a gorgeous voice..sigh.

Dear Zebra,<P>Thanks for the inspirational moment. I have not heard that particular song but I will look for it.<P>Brokenwings, His eye is on the sparrow is a wonderful song -- I cry every time I hear it.<P>I am a fan of all musice -- I just love it all. I recently heard one by a group called Mary,Mary and these words grabbed me:<P>"I don't believe He brought me this far to leave me".<P>That is the way I look at my relationship with God. Whenever things get rough I think about all of the tight spots that He has brought me through. And, if He has brought me this far, I don't think He is going to leave me now. We may not always understand the plan but we have to trust in Him and play along.<P>Keep those inspirational moments coming -- we need them...<P>love,<BR>heavenly
