Like a Million Raindrops

Dear Lord; Happy Friday Father!

Well Lord, it’s been a LONG day.  Following an insomnia night, I was awakened this morning by an urgent message indicating that we had a server down in the hosting group.  Out the door I ran, and the running didn’t stop until I sat down to dinner this evening at 7:15.

Whew.

Driving home from dinner tonight, I was going over the stresses of the day in my head trying to figure out how I was going to get everything I needed to do accomplished.  I felt overwhelmed, and tired…

And then a song came on the radio:

I love it when Your Messages smack me in the head Father.  🙂

“When that muffled sigh
Says you’re barely getting by
Cut your burdens loose and just simplify
Simplify

This is not your floor
You’re going higher than before
Drop the weight now
Wait for the lookout guide
Look outside

As they all fall
Like a million raindrops
Falling from a blue sky
Kissing your cares goodbye
They all fall
Like a million pieces
A ticker tape parade high
Now you’re free to fly”

I think I’ll sleep better tonight Lord.  Thank You.

Amen.
