Jodie , you must believe that cancer is NOT a death sentence ! It's just one word in your sentence.. It's rather a life sentence ; It pushes one to live ! You are going to be OK , Believe that ! ❤

[@mysevacher]

God is Good and your survival is dependent on your attitude. Take this as a bump in the road. A wise person told me it is not a sentence, just an inconvenience. Don't forget to laugh as laughter is the best medicine. Praying for all of us who have encountered cancer. 🙏

[@Crystal-in6ip]

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder, You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger, May you never take one single breath for granted, God forbid love ever leave you empty handed, I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean, Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens, Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance, And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance. I hope you dance... I hope you dance... I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance, Never settle for the path of least resistance, Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin', Lovin' might be a mistake, but it's worth makin', Don't let some Hell bent heart leave you bitter, When you come close to sellin' out reconsider, Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance, And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance. I hope you dance... I hope you dance. I hope you dance... I hope you dance. (Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along, Tell me who wants to look back on their years And wonder where those years have gone.) I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean, Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens, Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance, And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance. Dance... I hope you dance. I hope you dance... I hope you dance. I hope you dance... I hope you dance. (Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along, Tell me who wants to look back on their years And wonder where those years have gone.)

In 2004, I got the call that my Dad passed away. Dad had a hard life and he had problems expressing how he felt. Your stereotypical Midwest farmer tough man. I got in my work van to drive home after the news he died and this song started when I started the vehicle. The song is everything I know he wanted for me. I was a bit of a freespirit and he was set in his ways. I knew that day he felt God's unconditional love and this song was his message to me.

I can't remember the name of the person who wrote it but apparently when she wrote it she was going through a really bad divorce and was on the coast of Florida and that made her think of the line I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean.

[@rmwolfe]

Mark Sanders & Tia Sillers Tia: But the whole thing started when I was at the beach by myself, and I was standing at the ocean, feeling so tiny and inconsequential. And then I went into the writing appointment with Mark with this list of ‘I hopes,’ like ‘I hope this’ and ‘I hope that’.”

This song is motivational. Basically tells you to keep moving forward no matter what. When life gets hard give faith a chance to make life better for you. And when the opportunity comes take it full on. There will be mountains (obstacles) but don't be afraid keep going never give up but give faith a fighting chance. Always stay hungry and keep growing. Mom hopes you never had to go thru tough times but those tough times is what makes you who you are. I wish much success and prosperity to everyone reading this, no matter what you do in life. Stay hungry for more, take the path least traveled and keep faith burning

I told a father's a few years back, that his daughters would come looking for him, when they turned 18. The mother has left him while he was at work. There were two little girls, both under 3. The oldest girl turned 18, and that very same day, called her father's sister's and wanted contact information. I know this happened to another of our friends. She also contacted her father's family. A parent will always have a bond with their children, no matter what happens. 💕

I am so sorry for your loss my dear, i hope your daughter dances and passes that love along and may your family's hearts be warmed forever by this song and many more songs of hope, love and perseverance. sending warm and loving energy to you and yours. I wish I could give you a great big hug and I hope the pain becomes a little bit more tolerable. I know that kind of pain lingers, but it's finding ways to live with that pain and not become consumed by it. I heard the most beautiful expression yesterday that brought me to tears while watching a movie and, in this movie, the widow says to her stepdaughter, telling her about her deceased love of her life "he wrapped a string of lights around my heart." I know that I am a complete stranger, but pain is something I am all too familiar with and anytime I hear about someone who has experienced a terrible tragedy, I cannot help but become overwhelmed with emotion because I don't just empathize, I am a highly sensitive empath and I just want so badly to help everyone I meet or hear about with their pain and let them know that even if we are strangers, I care and I wish I could heal their pain. I hope I haven't rambled on too much. May peace and love be with you and those that you love and may it protect you and them as well.

[@jasonsieffert7394]

The craziest thing about this song is it came only months before I was born (May of 2000, I was born in October). My parents always tell me that on the day I was born, Lee Ann was actually singing this song on tv in a nearby room. That alone made this song special to me as I grew up. Today I officially turned 20 years old, and although it is crazy to think how much the world has changed in those 20 years, it is better to focus on how great of a life mine will become in the future. God bless you all and stay safe.

Then the other month I found myself awake in the small hours, in bed, after being forced into bankruptcy, parted from my wife, 44 years old with no kids and no money, at rock bottom in my life. Somehow this song popped up and I played it over and over all night, balling my eyes out in tears. Not my usual genre but a great song is a great song.

I would be very grateful if this song speaks to the souls of others as it speaks to me. "I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean..." Well... that will always be true for me. I lived with my parents on a 36-foot sailboat when I was 7-12, and there were many times when there was nothing on the horizon for 360 degrees- in day, and in the middle of the night. If you want to feel small in relation to God or the world, you should spend a calm new moon night alone on the deep seas. It will quite literally change you as a person. Being surrounding by nothing but the night sea is virtually the same thing as traveling to outer space. Nothing but pitch black below you. Nothing but stars in their brightest fullest majesty above you. There is no cathedral in the world that can make you feel more in the presence of God. Strangely, utter solitude and isolation makes you feel like you are most at home. You look up and see an indescribable wonder of simplicity and complexity existing effortlessly together. And then you look over at your Dad, silently keeping watch and a hand on the tiller, and you know that you are home. At home with family among nothing but the stars. If you believe in God, you will never find a better place to feel His presence. I assure you.
