Music soothes....
I have steered myself away from music recently as each time I listened I cried, I adore most types of good music and David was an Opera and Classics man, but today I listened to the new CD from The Military Wives and wept but still bought it, so it can get to Number One in the Brit charts by Christmas. For those of you not in UK who don't know Gareth Malone the Choirmaster and what he does on the TV over here, take a look at his web site if you have a minute. Anyway, I was feeling really bad because I didn't want to go to church, because of the worship, which I usually love. It made me feel uncomfortable. I recently downloaded the Kindle book - God of all Comfort by Dee Brestin, and she put it perfectly that 'when we hurt we don't feel like singing happy - clappy choruses. They can feel as abrasive as sand thrown in your eyes' Just how I felt. This helped me to see that it was ok to feel how I was feeling! Thanks Dee. Hope your day has been another foundation step xxxx

Music---it affected me that way, too! And the words to some of the hymns! I remember hearing people sing those hymns about sacrifice and following Christ to the very end, etc, and I'd think, "You people have no idea what you're asking!" But I took it in, like strong medicine. And God is a great physician. love to you.
