Wow! Forgive me for stopping the flow, with that last song. The reason it's inspirational to me is because the message is- even if life is so terrible as to be unbearable, humanity still goes on.

There are awful problems on this planet, but we have the opportunity to do something about them. I don't look away when I see the bad stuff; it reminds me to do something about it.

Please keep this thread going, it is the best!

Another of my favories starts out-

"For the beauty of the earth,
for the glory of the skies,
for the love which from our birth,
over and around us lies...

Lord of all to Thee we raise...this our hymn of thankful praise!"
