I experienced my first bit of sussy from the Diabetes OC late last week. I hadn't yet posted about it because I've been really busy this weekend and simply haven't had time.
I have to give my heartfelt thanks to Bernard, who read my impassioned rant about test strips and the current cost of my diabetes life. He contacted me and offered to send me a box of test strips, an extra meter, and the software & cable to download all of my pump and meter information. I have to say that is one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. I have gotten the chance to experience the wonderful generosity of the Diabetes OC and it makes me thankful that I found you all.
And on that note, while I was cruising around on the Internet today, I found the video for Martina McBride's new song. The song is touching. It fits in with my mood and my idea of what people are really about. The video is also shot in one of my favorite cities, NYC.
I have listed the lyrics below:
In these times in which we live
Where the worst of what we live
Is laid out for all the world on the front page
And the sound of someone’s heartbreak
Is a soundbite at the news break
With a close shot of the tears rollin’ down their face
Blessed be the child who turns a loving eye
And stops to pray
For these times in which we live
In these most uncertain hours
Where the balance of power
Is a fight that is fought every day
And freedom is a word
Some cry out and some whisper
And some are just too quick to give away
Blessed be the one who stands by the one
On the battle line
For these times in which we live
Well give me a heart full of tender mercy
And arms I will open wide
For these times in which we live
Seems like the only answer is
Givin’ up on findin’ one at all
And we hide behind unsure
Pull the blinds and lock the doors
And hang a pleasant picture on the wall
Blessed is the believer who knows love is our redeemer
And the only breath of life
For these times in which we live
Well give me a heart full of tender mercy
And arms I will open wide
Yeah give me words full of loving kindness
And hands ready to hold up a light
For these times in which we live
For these times in which we live

Aw, Bernard is the best. And so are you! Thanks for a post that made me smile.
:)
What a beautiful and touching song. I am not familiar with Martina McBride so this was nice to hear-the video was touching, too.
And Bernard's sussy was very very cool. I love the diabetes OC.
Yay for Bernard! What a nice guy!
I love that song by Martina McBride. She has such a powerful voice & isn't afraid to sing about serious or deep subjects. This is a good one. Thanks for sharing!
Beth, what would be do without the OC??? I wouldn't want to think it!
Amylia, being the country music nut that I am, I know Martina well. She almost always sings song like this. They kind that inspire and make you want to get up and do something! :) And she has one of the purest voices in music, period. I'm glad you liked the video.
Donna, I knew you would appreciate the song. :)
Hi Cara.
Martina McBride could sing "Three Blind Mice" and still bring tears to the eyes of everyone listening.
She (and Bernard) are about as good as they make 'em.
Bernard rocks. 'nuff said.
Hey Cara
I just read this post now. I'm glad the loot arrived safely and that it'll be of some help to you.
I hope you have a wonderful New Year.
From reading your other posts it sounds like your Christmas was excellent. Even though I can't play a note, I'm envious of your fiddle. Best of luck with learning that.
