Heart and soul therapy
It's just about bedtime as I post this latest missive.
And tonight, as I have for every night during the past six years, I will close my day with good gospel music.
I can't begin or end any day of my life anymore without a song.
And because of my nightly gospel song therapy, I can sleep well at night...and also have a song to sing in the new day.
I sometimes wonder if the artists who sing me to sleep each night ever wonder whether the music they made so long ago would be used to soothe a weary soul to sleep, or to plant the greatest message in the world into his brain to ruminate and dream upon, or even to start his day with a smile.
I'm sure that thought may have crossed their minds...sometimes more than once.
And I wonder if those same artists ever wonder whether their labors have made that kind of appreciative difference in a life, or do they get frustrated because it's hard sometimes to see the fruits of their work manifest amidst the long bus rides, and if they eventually abandon that calling because the monetary and personal benefits aren't sufficient for them
Well, I'm one person here to say...keep it up, guys and gals, because it's made a huge difference in the real quality of my life.
And if it's done that for me, imagine how many others have had similar or even greater benefits in their lives as a result of them making those little records of songs that tell the greatest story in the world.
Gospel music is one of the best therapies I can recommend to any person.
And if there are any singers reading this, hang in there...because you're all truly making a difference in people's lives...whether it's eternally, or just for a few moments in time.
It's worth it. I know.
