Blessings

Last night, Chris and I were talking about the many ways we have been blessed. We have been blessed with some phenomenal friends! Several we've never met in person, but love just the same. We've been blessed with our goofy and strongwilled kids. Sometimes it saddens us that we aren't that close with some of his family, but then we think of how great our friends are and our many other blessings. Anyways - I've had this Martina McBride song in my head - pretty much sums up my thoughts:

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

Chorus:
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

Repeat Chorus

When I'm singing my kids to sleep
When I feel you holding me
I know

Repeat Chorus
