I know it sounds simplistic and corny but we truly need to do our best every day to count our blessings in life. We all get so busy in our hectic lives with insane family schedules full of school activities and sporting events, not to mention our daily jobs at work and at home. It’s become all too easy to find ourselves running full-speed on the treadmill of life and forget to stop and catch our breath and appreciate all of the blessings we have in our lives.
Martina McBride’s “BLESSED” is a wonderful reminder to do just that. Take a few minutes right now to reflect on all your riches and just savor the moment. Then get back in the rat race for a while but remember to take as many of these blissful bless breaks as you possibly can.
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
