I Have Been Blessed

Some people have “theme” songs – I’ve never really hopped on board that train, but I think maybe over the last couple of years I may have found one. All I know is that God has blessed me WAY more than I ever expected or dreamed He would, and WAY more than I know I deserve.

First He gave me an incredibly wonderful husband…
and then He blessed us with the most beautiful little boy ever. And now as we look forward to our daughter coming, I almost can’t dare believe this isn’t a dream. Anyway, this song pretty much hits the nail on the head of how I feel about my life. Not everything the song says fits us perfectly; for example, we don’t have hardwood floors. But you get the gist.
LORD, thank you and may I never take for granted the blessings You’ve given, even when things are tough.

Blessed
By Martina McBride

I get kissed by the sun each morning
Put my feet on a hardwood floor
I get to hear my children laughing
Down the hall through the bedroom door
Sometimes I sit on my front porch swing
Just soaking up the day
I think to myself, I think to myself
This world is a beautiful place

I have been blessed and I feel like I’ve found my way
I thank God for all I’ve been given at the end of every day
I have been blessed with so much more than I deserve
To be here with the ones that love me
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed

Across a crowded room, I know you know what I’m thinking
By the way I look at you.
And when we’re lying in the quiet and no words have to be said
I think to myself, I think to myself
This love is a beautiful gift

I have been blessed and I feel like I’ve found my way
I thank God for all I’ve been given at the end of every day
I have been blessed with so much more than I deserve
To be here with the ones that love me
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed

When I’m singing my kids to sleep
When I feel you holding me
I know, I have been blessed.
