Music & Passion!!

Tonight I was watching Carrie's Underwood performance on the CMA's and it really inspired me to write a little blog about it!
I don't really write alot of these and I am not sure why I decided to write this one down here but here it goes...
Music has such an intense affect on all of us there is just something that touches and hearts that words so much of the times cannot express. I know whenever I feel like the words just aren't there, there will be a song that fits so perfectly to what the laying heavily on my heart at that very moment. For the past few days with Veteran's Day just passing it has reminded me of all of our soldiers fighting for us and how they are so easily forgotten, tonight when I heard Carrie Underwood's performance of "Just A Dream" it reminded how powerful their act of service is for all of us. Sometimes we so easily forget the impact that they having on our daily lives! It literally brought me to tears We are so blessed to live in a country where we have the freedom to live how we like, believe what we choose to believe. etc. With everything going on in our country with the election, raising gas prices, the economy, etc. We so easily forget that we have friends and loved ones fighting for their lives! That there are thousands of our friends and family who live with the stress of not knowing if their loved ones are going to coming home or not. Not only should be constantly in support of our own troops but being support and prayer for those who have loved ones serving overseas. Her song "Just A Dream" is such a reminder what an impact it has to lose a loved one in such a horrific manner and that we all need as friends & family to constantly be there to support them. To imagine that they say that heroes not not exist and we have thousands of them serving every single day, the unsung heroes of our nation's freedom!
David's song "Light On" reminds me of all those serving so far away from home and that should always keep our hearts "on" for them and to never forget them!! It is the little signs of support for our troops that will keep them encouraged to know that their service is not in vain!!
