Muir’s Morning Motivational Minute

‘Try me, Lord, if you think there’s a way
I can try to repay all I’ve taken from you
Maybe Lord I can show someone else
What I’ve been through myself, on my way back to you’

                                                                                                   — ‘Why Me Lord’ – Kris Kristofferson —

Every single morning for the past nine months I’ve posted a motivational quote and tried to add a few of my own words simply to help people get their day off on a positive note. But, today I write for me and I’m just inviting you along. As a writer I have never been afraid or timid about baring my soul and I’ve been accused of wearing my emotions on my sleeve. Whether it’s right or wrong, I readily admit that I often write from my heart and not my head. Today, I write from the heart.

I love the song “Why Me Lord” and cannot listen to it without crying. Perhaps there are five million other people who feel the same way I do but I see myself in every single word of that song. I feel incredibly blessed and feel that I have been handed God-given talents to reach out to people. I struggle daily with ‘why’ (just like the song) — because there is certainly nothing I have done to deserve the many blessings God has given to me.

I posted the second verse to this song because this is exactly where I am at in my life today. All four of those lines literally grab my heart as I read them. As I trudge along trying to find my path, my direction, my way to repay all I’ve taken from God, please say a prayer for me. And thanks for riding along this morning!

God’s blessing to you on this day! Have a great Tuesday and a blessed day!
