This song won the Grammy for song of the year this year.
I love the line in the beginning that says, "Now in the morning I sleep alone, sweep the streets I used to own."
What a visual that is.
It's a visual we can all grab hold of in these uncertain times. Most of us know people who have lost their possessions, lifestyle and livelihood in this crumbling economy.
Every time I hear this song, I think of this verse:
"You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?" declares the LORD Almighty. "Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with his own house." (Haggai 1:9)
There is nothing new under the sun, indeed.

Indeed. What a reminder to be thankful for the very things we sometimes take for granted.
Wow, I cannot think of a more appropriate verse. This really does say it all, doesn't it? I'll be meditating on that one for a while.
Blessings to you & your family.
Oh - it's so exciting to see your new book. Wonderful. I know lots of thought, prayer, and good life living went into it. I am speaking on frugal living at the NCHE conference this year. One of my fav. topics. hope to see you there. I am desiring to go to She Speaks, but haven't committed yet...we'll see. :)
Can you tell me the name of the song you mention here. I live out of the US and it says it's unavailable here by using the link. Thanks for your encouraging words.
