Blessed....

While driving to work yesterday morning I heard this song, which is an older song, but one of my favorites just the same. I've probably heard the song a million times (well, not literally), but it just really made an impression on me this particular time for some reason and reminded me just how much I have been blessed. I am so fortunate in so many ways and am absolutely so grateful for everyone and everything that I have in my life. My wonderful loving husband who is more than I could ever wish for and always seems to amaze me....my absolutely incredible son who I love more and more everyday and my caring, loving and supportive family and friends that love me for who I am and support me in every part of my life. I am so blessed for all of these people and for what joy they bring to my life and this song just reminded me once again of everything I have to be happy and so very appreciative for.

It truly is a beautiful song and if you really listen to the lyrics or if you are already familiar with the song then you probably understand what I mean. In any case, it really hit a chord with me and pulled my heartstrings so I thought that I would share it here and hopefully, it will bring a little joy and reflection to others on how much they have been blessed as well. Enjoy!!

Blessed

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
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
