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

I think being parents of young kiddos, maybe even especially being MOMs, its easy for us to see how blessed we are with our families and appreciate them so much! its just easy to forget to tell them :-)
I love that song- always picks my spirit up!
