I think Nancy Kirkpatrick’s post yesterday about Anne Frank inspired me to begin a search for music that has meant something special to me. Schindler’s List is one of the most poignant movies I have ever watched. It was both heartbreaking as well as uplifting. I found the main theme on Youtube and have decided to share it with you today. People faced such fear and hardship at that point in our world’s history, not unlike today. We have to remember that there is always hope and always a light at the end of the tunnel. This music is gentle and beautifully written by John Williams. Like all of his compositions it draws pictures in our minds that may relate to the movie or they may trigger memories of our own. I hope you’ll enjoy listening this morning and receive the warm sensitivity I have found in each note as it leads to the other. As human beings we all find ourselves challenged at times. Be it the loss of a loved one, the end of a way of life, sorrow over past, present or future. Whatever the case we are united in our desire to thrive and survive. You might take note of the simple sentence you’ll find on the video…”whoever saves one life saves the world entire”. And so it is…….a peaceful, simple Sunday is my wish for you all!

Thank you Melissa for two days of very inspirational posts. The quote about the “good news” really resonated with me. Do you know where the quote came from? Have a beautiful Sunday!
