On Your Knees

(*Something brought you to my mind today
I thought about the funny ways you make me laugh
And yet I feel like it's okay to cry with you
Something about just being with you
When I leave I feel like I've been near God
And that's the way it ought to be...)

My husband and I were on the way to my parent’s house today – halfway there in fact – when my phone rang. It was my son, calling to tell me he had a flat tire and was stranded on the side of the interstate with no spare. Of course, we turned the car around and rescued him. That’s what parents do – even when the child in question is twenty four years old.

I can remember so many times in my life, when I had to pick up the phone and call my family and have them come save me from one disaster or another. No matter what time of day (or night) it was, I knew when I made a SOS call, it would be answered… and I made plenty.

I know that my family has prayed for my health and happiness throughout my life. That thought humbles me. I pray for my loved ones, too… that God gives them what they need… that they carry Him in their hearts… that they are filled with peace… and that they follow His plan for their lives.

(*And you'll never know what it means to me
Just to know you've been on your knees for me
Oh, you have blessed my life
More than you'll ever know.)
