today in unlikely praise music…

This morning the hubs regaled me with a blast from the past. Directly from our disco days, he played France Jolie’s “Come to Me.” I danced to this song a million times with my John Travolta.

Who knew three decades later it would be a prayer on a Friday morning in Lent.

 

 

 

Come to me
When you’re all alone and feelin’ down
Come to me
When there’s nobody else around
Come to me
I’m still waiting open-armed for you
Come to me
‘Cause I will comfort you
When you’ve no one to turn to
I will be here just for you

Here’s the video for your viewing pleasure. Or prayer. I mean…it was for me….Weird? Probably.

How’s your Lent going?

I’m feeling a bit like this broken sand dollar that I found on my morning walk. I’ve been at the mercy of the changing tides, hoping for the day when I’m made whole again in the presence of our Lord.

It’s been lent, for sure. I haven’t been able to get a handle on it, on myself, on all the things I know to be good for my soul. And yet, I trudge on. Perhaps, like the sand dollar, I should let myself be carried onto the beach and into the sun.

It’ll be ok.
