When I listen to music, it's not uncommon for me to pick one song that "speaks" to me, and to listen to it over and over. The song "Glorious" by David Archuleta, is one of my current favorites, and I listen to it often. Especially when I feel like I'm searching for peace, and answers to questions.
Every person is special, and has a unique role to play. Sometimes we feel guided in a certain direction. And as we follow our hearts, we meet people who touch our lives and help to enhance us and teach us. And sometimes we get to help and teach others as well.
I love the analogy in this song that each person plays a piece in the music of life. Because we are all different, all the parts are needed. When I was younger, I was very involved in music. In orchestra there were at least 5 different parts to each piece we performed. When I hear some of those songs played, I listen for the part that I played (it wasn't the melody line). While that one part may not be spectacular on it's own, the music would not be the same without it.
Each day I want to do what God wants me to do. My life is not glamorous, but my role is important to many people. I am a mom, a sister, a daughter, a friend, a co-worker. . . and that's just a few of my roles. I believe that people come into our life for a reason. We give strength to each other, and help each other. I have met strangers briefly who have impacted my life, and have no idea what their words meant. I watch the quiet example of others, who I'm sure have no idea of what I'm learning from them. Our impact may be big or small. But I'm sure it is always bigger than we believe. And when we all join together either explicitly, or by the influence of others, the difference each of us makes is huge.
Does this song speak to you?
