If I Should Fall Behind

“Yeah, I’ll wait for you
Should I fall behind
Wait for me
I’ll wait for you
Should I fall behind
Wait for me”

As I often write, I love when our messages come in via a song…most especially if it is a song that I love. “If I Should Fall Behind.” is a love song Springsteen wrote for his wife. Today it is given to us to remind us of our own love for each other.

It is in our nature to be competitive. It is in our nature to want to “just get things done.” Those are good things. It spurs us to action and growth. But once again, there is a balance. The growth…the best action…the real lesson, is not about where or how fast we finish. Sometimes it is about slowing it down and “waiting and helping” someone else. The restraint is an act of kindness and love.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

-Affirm…“I am loved.”
