I was
walkin home from school
On a
cold winter day
Took
a short cut through the woods
And I
lost my way
It
was getting late, and I was scared and alone
We all want to make sure we
get the job done and we want to finish it the quickest possible way. We do it
because we either wanted to impress our boss, our parents or even the people
around us. We do short cuts most of the time.
Learning knew things and
personalizing it and making some brave action to go against the norm to make
our life easier is truly commendable. At work most of the time, I am always encourage
in finding new ways to make my life easier, better and of course ensuring that
by the end of the day though I have taken shortcuts I still produce the same
quality.
However, in life, taking
shortcuts are not always the best solution. We still of course need to be
undergo everything that we need to do to ensure we gather enough knowledge to
finish it right.
We commit mistakes almost
everyday. Wrong decisions, wrong people to trust to, wrong plans and just like
in the song Angels Among Us we get really scared. We feel alone, we feel
neglected, we feel unloved.
Then a
kind old man took my hand and led me home
Just like in the song, there
will always be someone to stand up beside us. Walk with us and cry with every
sorrow we undergo. This is life, it is full of mystery and surprises. We pray
earnestly and ask for anything and everything. I believe that God listens and
answers our prayer not for what we ask but for what we need.
God send someone to be with
us. God send someone to help us go through the challenges. God take away things
we actually don’t need. Just like in the song, someone will come and take our
hand and will lead us home.
Mama couldn’t
see him
But
he was standing there
And I
knew in my heart
He
was the answer to my prayer
I always believe God
transforms in many other forms to be with us to guide us. The only thing we
need to do is to have that faith in us guiding us despite the turbulence of our
life. We might not be seeing HIM nor feeling him. The only communication we
have with HIM is simply through prayer. I guess that’s life and that’s faith.
God comes in many forms. The
little things we have and the tiny tidbits of life during struggling times are
those simple things that comes along away. We may simply ignore it but this are
gift from God to let us know he is there, that he is walking with us to take
the burden away or to ease our self from the pains we feel.
Oh, I
believe there are Angels Among Us,
Sent
down to us from somewhere up above.
They
come to you and me in our darkest hours
To
show us how to live
To
teach us how to give
To
guide us with a light of love.
This made this song somehow
something extra special to me. It reminds me of that little something to let me
know that God is there with me all the time and all throughout the journey in
this what we call life. It is a reminder that there’s that special someone out
there watching over us.
When
life held troubled times
And
had me down on my knees
There’s
always been someone
To
come along and comfort me
A
kind word from a stranger
To
lend a helping hand
A
phone call from a friend
Just
to say I understand
Now
ain’t it kind of funny
At
the dark end of the road
Someone
light the way with just a single ray of hope.
So to encourage people out
there who felt that no one is with them all along. That the world seems so rude
and so unforgiving. That the people we look up to seems so distant and curse
and telling you that you are nothing just remember that there’s always someone
who will come along and comfort you. That someone is a gift from God and
touched by God to be with you.
They
wear so many faces,
Show
up in the strangest places
And
grace us with their mercies in our time of need.
Sometimes the always come
along in our most unexpected way. But every night when you felt alone, look back
from the day I am sure there’s always that someone smiled or texted you or send
you a message and somehow even for just a minute you smiled, you were at ease. That
someone could be a friend or a guard from a mall or a sales lady in a boutique or
even a stranger in the street.
To
guide us with a light of love
