TRY

TRY (behind the song)

So many times we can feel so down that we moan it is  not worth trying or sometimes we are afraid to leave our comfort zone and venture into something new.  It seems much easier to find excuses as to why we can’t move in that direction. A cheer leader may move us to a more positive course and open our eyes to reality. We can do it!  “A true companion is loving all the time, and is a brother that is born for when there is distress.” Proverbs 17:17. That is the companion we need to change our outlook and bring out the best in us and take us away from the attitude stated in Proverbs 26:13, “There is a panther on the road,there is a lion between the squares.”, said as an excuse to avoid the task  or the challenge. These are the musings behind the song TRY.
