This song stuck my heart today. Norah Jones....Humble Me

Went out on a limb
Gone too far
Broke down at the side of the road
Stranded at the outskirts and the sun's creepin' up

Baby's in the backseat
Still fast asleep
Dreamin' of better days
I don't want to call you but you're all I have to turn to

What do you say
When it's all gone away?
Baby I didn't mean to hurt you
Truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart
No matter how hard you resist it
It never rains when you want it to

You humble me Lord
You humble me Lord
I'm on my knees empty
You humble me Lord
You humble me Lord
So please, please, please forgive me

Baby Teresa she's got your eyes
I see you all the time
When she asks about her daddy
I never know what to say

Heard you kicked the bottle
And you helped build the church
You carry an honest wage
Is it true you have someone keeping you company?

What do you say
When it's all gone away?
Baby I didn't mean to hurt you
Truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart
No matter how hard you resist it
It never rains when you want it to

You humble me Lord
You humble me Lord
I'm on my knees empty
You humble me Lord
You humble me Lord
So, please, please, forgive me


When something really sticks in me i wonder what I'm supposed to learn. It's true, this plumbing project is teaching me humility!
I think I saw the real reason for the song when i was outside clearing off my car.

My single mom neighbor's ex was staggering up the street towards me at 9 in the morning. He was falling down drunk and on his way to her house. I know she is having so much trouble being alone. I think I am supposed to try and help her out more.

I tell her every time i see her how proud i am of her (she quit smoking)and I always take time to play with her little daughter. I took her out for dinner the night her divorce became final. What else can I do to encourage her? Single moms....moms...comment?
