Blessed

We often have songs that speak to us. Some for a moment, some for a lifetime. Some that remind us of how we felt, where we were, what was going in our lives at that moment. I have many songs over the years that I relate to certain events or moments in my life. Songs that serve as memories. I can hear that particular song and be transported back to that very time and place. I can be who I was at that instant in time and remember how I felt.

This song however came out years ago. I moved on from my country music phase. But this song, the lyrics, are still alive in me today.

Blessed~ 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, 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

Amen. I could not say it any better than that.
