I am finding joy more now - joy I thought would never come. God is doing incredible things in my life and in the life of my family. You know what? Angela has had a big part in that - God is so good and is still using her!
I have always found comfort in music - songs are incredible tools to bring back memories or give me that extra bit of courage I need to keep on keeping on. I also really like feel-good tv shows like 7th Heaven. The other day I was watching an episode and Lucy sang this song that was SO what I was feeling, so I googled it (gotta love Google!) and found the lyrics. Maybe if you have lost someone you love, this song will speak to your heart like it did mine.
Angel by Beverly Mitchell
Have you ever met an angel
Whose smile is like the sun
Whose laugh is like a melody
That reaches everyone
Have you ever hugged an angel
Swept up in their embrace
And swear there's nothing in this world
That makes you feel that safe
(Chorus)
Have you ever really loved an angel
Once you have you'll never be the same again
Have you ever had to let go of an angel
Say goodbye, let 'em fly, my angel, my best friend
Have you felt the strength of an angel
When you need it the most
Lifted by those gentle wings
You know you're not alone
Every now and then I feel the peace inside
Wherever life may take me, I'm guided by that light
Have you ever really loved an angel
Once you have you'll never be the same again
Have you ever had to let go of an angel
Say goodbye, let 'em fly, my angel, my best friend
Cause I have really loved an angel
How could I ever be the same
Cause I have had to let go of my angel
Say goodbye, let 'em fly, my angel, my best friend.
