When Hollywood depicts birth, the mother is usually yelling and screaming while hitting her husband, “You did this to me!!!!” That has never been the case for us. With each of our three children, I’ve fallen more deeply in love with Lee than words can describe. This recent situation for us has been no different. He knows exactly what I need, whether he’s giving the kids a bath, cleaning up after dinner, or simply holding me when I cry…
I was laying awake in bed last night thinking, as I usually do, and I thought through again how many things I have to be thankful for. In the normalcy of life I can overlook so many good things, but its times like these that amplify them in my mind.
Music and Lyrics mean more to me than I can explain, and this song has been resonating with me so much since January. We have a lot going on in our lives right now, and its not about what we have or do, because that is in a constant state of change. God has given me a beautiful family and such wonderful friends. I am so blessed.
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
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
