I have been Blessed

I find myself singing the lyrics to Martina McBride lately:

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

When I’m singing my kids to sleep

When I feel you holding me

I know

I have been blessed.

 

I know that blessings come usually after much triall and I am so thankful to be out of our most recent ones.  I know that there is a very loving Father in Heaven who teaches and blesses us- each in a very unique way.   I am grateful for his GRACE that carried me through the past 10 months of hardship and confusion.  Living out of a suitcase and letting go of our dream job humbled and taught me so much.
