You and Me..

The past few years I have come to really relate to, and appreciate Helen’s Reddy’s song “You and Me against the World”. The song is very powerful. The title alone describes what life is like for a special mom who cares about her child. Everything happens for a reason and I’m beginning to understand the reasons behind my Alex being here.

Two verses of this song hit home and I wanted to share them with you.

You and me against the world,

Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world,

When all the others turn their backs and walk away,

You can count on me to stay
By Helen Reddy

I began to realize along time ago that if I wanted anything done for Alex then I just have to ask for it and stand my grounds. I had never been a very exuberant person before Alex was born. I can’t believe how much I’ve changed and grown since then. Everyday I see how our kids are getting left in the shuffle when their needs are ignored or sidetracked. I make sure that my daughter’s needs are met.

Here is the other verse from that song:

You and me against the world,

Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world

And for all the times we've cried,

I always felt thatGod was on our side.

By Helen Reddy

It is without doubt that the new strength I’ve found comes from God. No matter how tough life can get, things will be OK as long as we trust in his plan. It is ultimately God who will always take care of things.
