I was two years old when my mom's mom passed away, but my mom tells me that the week before she passed away she heard the song "Here and Now" by Luther Vandross every day as soon as she got in the car. Every time anyone in my family hears that song we think of grandma. It always seems to come on in times when we need comfort.
Well, for the past three nights "Here and Now" has been on the radio as soon as I get in bed before I fall asleep. I have been going to bed at different times too so it's not just the time of night. I feel comforted by this song and have been praying for the Bisnett family at my church and specifically little baby Giana when I hear the song (the little baby girl with spina bifida I wrote about in my last post). I know that there is comfort even in times of suffering and I just feel God's arms reaching out when I think about my grandma and the song that reminds us of her love. Just as the song talks of promises, it reminds me of God's promises. Not only is my grandma with me in my heart during difficult times, but God is with us and for that I am extremely thankful!
So, this song is for you baby Giana...get better soon. There are a lot of people cheering for you!
