I’ve officially turned into a sap.
Yesterday morning, during my drive to school, my local radio station played the following song…
I cried as I sat in my parking spot at the school and listened to the end of the song.
The song speaks about how the most important gift you can present to God is the thing that is most precious to you.
Soooo beautiful.
As I listened to the song later in the day, I cried again. This time, my tears flowed as I heard the part about the bird being let out of the cage and singing the beautiful song inside its heart.
I pictured the students I teach.
They are like the bird in the beginning of the song…wounded.
I have taken them in the palm of my hand…nurturing them…helping them get stronger.
It is my prayer that one day, they will be set free from the ties that hold them down.
I hope that one day, they will sing a song of joy.
May God be glorified when this magical moment happens.
