What brings me Hope ??
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance ~ Lee Ann Womack
I heard this song the other day coming out of my son Ridge's bedroom. He likes to listen to Delilah show in the evening. I think he gets that from Momma listening to it. I stood outside his room with tears in my eyes. I thought of how I have had doors go shut but now just like the song says I was hopeful that another one would open. I had faith to carry me through those terrible times when I felt like giving in. I know I'm a stronger person today. I can talk about loss and I can reach out to others. I'm glad even on difficult days that I kept right on dancing. I'm thankful for God being there always. I was glad to hear that song as a reminder that there is Hope for everything and especially as a BLM. Thanks Ridge , Mom loves you.

I hadn't heard of this song, Caroline, but I do like those lyrics. They are full of hope indeed! I think God blessed you to hear that song then and to give you the hope that he is always there for you, no matter what!
