Blessed

My song of the week is a song by Rachel Lampa and it's called "Blessed" , here are the lyrics...If you can listen to it's even better......

I may never climb a mountain so I can see the world from there I may never ride the waves and taste the salty ocean air Or build a bridge, that would last a hundred years But no matter where the road leads One thing is always clear
I am blessed, I am blessed From when I rise up in the morning Til I lay my head to rest I feel You near me You sooth me when I'm weary Oh Lord, for all the worst and all the best I am blessed
All along the road less traveled, I have crawled and I have run I have wandered through the wind and rain until I found the sun The watching eyes asked me why, I walked this narrow way I will gladly give the reasonFor the hope I have today
You've given me joy You've given me love You give me strength when I want to give upYou came from Heaven to rescue my soul This is the reason I know I know

As I walk through this time in my life. I needed to hear this song because I have been blessed and I need to recognize that God has given me so much. I need to acknowledge HIS blessing in my life. When life seems to look grim and hopeless I can KNOW that it is not hopeless. I can look at all He has blessed me with.

So I take time to thank God for what I've been blessed with.....
1) My family-> I've been blessed with 2 nieces and 1 nephew. I am in love with those kids.
2) My friends-> There are WAY too many of them to name but you all know who you are.
3) The opportunities to see God's world and the experience of broadening my worldview.
4) Blessed to have recieved Salvation. Without this my life is indeed grim & hopeless.

There are so many more but I won't share them all. I hope and pray that you take time today to count your blessings, then take time to thank the Almighty for blessing you.

You are blessed,
Terri
