Giving You Life Away
My wife Nancy sang and spoke at a treatment center for women yesterday. This is what she had to say on her blog.
We all get chances to give our lives away.
Today I had an opportunity to share bits of my story and sing some of my songs in a very unique setting. I sang to the residents at the Trempealeau County Health Center. Just to look into their eyes, see their tears and smiles, I knew they knew and I felt their connection.
I sang “Rock me Jesus” a song I wrote back in the 90’s when I was in one of the darkest places of my life. As a little girl, I would escape into the safety of heaven and Jesus would rock me all through the night, yet what I wanted was my momma to keep me safe from all harm.
Visiting with some of the wonderful woman afterwards gave me a renewed appreciation for life, healing, hope and grace. I was able to share some of my survival skills with them and encourage them to love themselves.
There are so many walking wounded in this world that need what you have to give. I challenge you to take that risk and bless someone today and just give your life away.
