So often I look around at the things going on in my life and I have to question, "Why me God?"
What did I do to deserve this?
I have children to adore
count them 1..2..3..4....
Each healthy, smart and tender
looking back and I remember
praying softly for each one
counting the days 'til they would come.
I have a love that's tried and true
An earthly reflection of me and You
Reminds me daily of Your grace
A hand to guide me through this place.
My home is big, and it is sturdy
and sometimes it is very dirty
but it is ours and we are content
with who and what are inside of it.
Every corner of this place
there are reminders of Your grace
How you've set such things for me
you've aligned them perfectly.
Who am I to recieve all this?
To end each day with true love's kiss?
To snuggle warmly in their beds
four perfect, sleepy, curly heads?
So why God, why me?
I didn't earn it, definately.
Could it be Earth's little loves
Are merely specks of what's above?
Could there possibly
be even more love there for me?
There is nothing I deserve less
but I know the answer still is "Yes".
I hear you, sister! It's such a great practice to get into to count the many things that God has blessed us with when it turns out that we want still more. It has a way of making that little thing we wanted into pretty insignificant stuff. What a smarty pants you are!
