"We fall down, but we get up...
for a saint is just a sinner who fell down, and got up"
Donnie McClurkin
Wednesday, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that my choir would be singing this Sunday. My choir director, who has a wonderful, white soul sound to his voice, sang We Fall Down several weeks ago, and now he was giving us a chance to join him.
It couldn't have come at a better time for me. I was feeling bad about myself, having allowed myself to get caught up in another bad, unhealthy relationship. I felt I really fell down, and felt down about myself.
But the song uplifted me; it made me feel that everything was okay, and that I was okay. It gave me perspective, and allowed me to see what happened was something put there for me to learn from, and suddenly, I was grateful. I was grateful for the lesson, and for the enlightenment to see how all of these things were put in my life.
We might all fall down, but when we get back up, we can see the light.
