My patriotism has really been ignited this year. As we spent so much time in Ukraine, our eyes were opened as to how blessed we are to be Americans. Since the 9-11 attacks nine years ago, Dave and I have traveled to over 30 other countries and we have not seen the same greatness anywhere that we have all around us in the US. Although our country is not perfect, there is Love for others, good will and honest-to-goodness good hearted service here like nowhere else we have ever been.
The day after the 9-11 attacks I wrote a song and had my good friend Angela Winston record it. It is called Love Will Always Prevail. This year this song means even more to me. When bad things happen to us, the only real way to heal is to fill our hearts with as much love as we can and so there is no room for the bad stuff. When we use our pain to help others, it fades faster and as promised, love will always prevail.
Here is a link to a free download of the song if anyone wants to hear it.

The girls and I listened to your song. We loved it. We will have to add it to our collection. My kids love your songs. When I sing a song to the kids at night I get a frequent request for the "Cow loves jumping over the moon song." The kids have wanted the stories behind the songs so we have fun reading those. The second favorite is "Family Vacation." We have made up our own words to Family Vacation about Food from the Ukraine. You would laugh. I am not a singer and slaughter your songs, but thankfully the girls don't mind:)
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to hear the new words about Ukrainian food. I hope we get to hear it soon. I am sure that you are a great singer if your girls want you to sing an encore each night and what a great Mom to sing them a bedtime song! You are amazing, Amy!!
