Revelation

[shhh65]

I have been having some really hard days lately and pouring my heart out to God. This song really expresses what I am asking God to do in my life. Maybe it will help someone else as well. Music really touches my soul as I suppose it does most everyone.

Sherry - I love music too, and play the songs over and over again that speak to me - this song really said it - thanks, Marsha

I never really "loved" music but I enjoyed listening to it while in the car or cleaning house. Now here is the wierd part....ever since Lou's death I will not listen to any music. I did not realize what I was doing at first but I turn the channel on the radio anytime there is music (I listen to talking parts only) and when there is long music or singing on TV I put it on mute. For some reason the music bothers me. I have not tried to analyze why or give it much thought.

I wonder what is going on?

Rosemary - I've wondered that, too. I find that I avoid the places, and things, that remind me of Joe in a painful way -the grocery store, for intstance. During the last three months, all he wanted was puddings, and frozen pot pies, and I'd be there 3 or 4 times a week. Let me tell you, when I do go grocery shopping now I push my cart so fast by those aisles your head would spin. Music? It's basically sitting outside my back deck, cranking up Jimi Hendrix (I don't know why - may favorite since I was 15) and having a meltdown - my neighbors hate me. Reading? Haven't read a book all the way through in 7 months - and I could read a book in one sitting. On the computer? About 5 times as much as I would have been, but it's what I need right now. All I can say is I truly wish I knew how to knit! Marsha

Great song. Music soothes my soul, I love music. I am passionate about it!!!!! I sang many songs to Dan while he was in the hospital and in Hospice, oh well if no one liked he did. Thanks. Love, Kim

Sherry,

Thank you for posting this. This is my favorite group and I hadn't heard this song before this thread. Today, I was parking to go into my grief group. (We meet once a month.) Our leader is retiring and she has been a tremendous help. She has a great ability to listen and empathize. I made her a little gift that had an angel and bells to remember "us" by. I was wondering what our group would be like without her and this song came on. I didn't get any answers about the group, but it did feel like one of those God moments where He was speaking to me through this song. I stared off into the street and when I closed my eyes to listen more intently, I saw a cross. When I looked again, I noticed a telephone pole with the same shape. It was just one of those reminders that He was listening and He cares. I believe there are angels among us to help us through heartache. For all of you here, you have been just that for me.

Thank you.

Thank you, Sherry - it's a powerful song. All Joe wanted to listen to was Nebraska, by Bruce Springsteen. It's a sad, but again powerful album. Music does mean so much to us.

Kath - I believe in angels in human form - when I'm feeling really bad, often comes someone to just check in on me, or talk for a while. Like you, the comfort of those here fits that human-in-angel form.
