Hello, Again

"Hello, Again"

I was riding around in the truck the other day and I heard this song by Neil Diamond. 

Hello again, hello

Just called to say hello

I couldn't sleep at all tonight 

I know it's late but I couldn't wait

 I don't know about you but when I can't sleep, I pray.

 I immediately thought of that.

Hello, my friend, hello

Just called to let you know

I think about you every night

When I'm here alone and you're there at home,

hello

When it got to the "here alone and you are there at home,"  I almost lost it.
It made me think of every lost loved one that has gone before me. 
I miss them so.

I'm sorry to the people that see my driving down the road weeping.
It happens. 
Nothing touches my soul more than an inspirational song.   
I know that this song was written for the movie "The Jazz Singer." 

I have absolutely no connotation for this song except that gleaned from listening to the lyrics because I never saw the movie. 
 Maybe, it's been crazy and maybe I'm to blame

But I put my heart above my head

We've been through it all 

and you loved me just the same 

and when you're not there
I just need to hear

 I'm so glad that there are people in my life that love me unconditionally. 
That is what drew me to my husband. 
I knew he loved me know matter what.

The Lord also does this for me. 
I stray. 
I forget my devotion to Him and all that He has done for me.

  

Hello, my friend, hello

It's good to need you so

It's good to love you like I do

And to feel this way 

When I hear you say,

hello

He has seen me through so many storms.
I need Him.

  
Am I perfect representation of the Christian walk?
Heavens no!
I know without a doubt that He is always there. 

Hello, my friend, hello

Just called to let you know

I think about you every night

I know it's late 

But I couldn't wait

Hello

"I couldn't wait."
Oh, that I would feel that way about prayer and reading my Bible.

I know that when I'm awake in the middle of the night, it is time to pray. 
Someone - Somewhere needs prayer. 
I think about Him. 
What do you do when you can't sleep?
