Oh What A Reason

I've been blessed with so many things, God's been good to me

I have family and friends who share in all I do

But if I lose it all and I am left with nothing

If I have the Lord I know I'll make it through

 

He's the only reason I live, but oh, what a reason

He's the only reason I live, but oh, what a reason

There's nothing in this world worth living for

It only leaves you empty and longing for more

Oh, He's the only reason I live, but oh, what a reason

 

Now you may have tried a lot of things to find real happiness

But if you've looked very long, then you know it can't be found

Until you find the Lord, in the power of His Spirit

Jesus will be your reason to live and He'll never let you down

 

Well, there's nothing in this world worth living for

It only leaves you empty and longing for more

Oh, He's the only reason I live, but oh, what a reason

He's the only reason I live, but oh, what a reason!

Worst Christmas Gift Ever!!!

This is old news but even still I feel that I should post about it :) maybe I'm just looking for more sympathy since it all seems to have died here at home and on Facebook :)
On Christmas day, near the end of the day, I was bringing Christmas goodies upstairs and I had already arranged them on beautiful glass Christmas plates. As I was walking across the kitchen, going around the corner into my boys' bedroom, I stepped on a Thomas the Train take-n-play and there I went. An hour later I'm in the emergency room getting X-rays and 10 stitches, learning that I've broken the tip of my bone, shredded my middle finger with multiple lacerations with the possibility of losing all sensory nerves. Unbelievable.
But God knew that it was the best time for something like this to happen - Mike had this whole week off and was able to be caregiver, husband, father, laundry woman, dishwasher and all around handy man. He was absolutely amazing!!! I am slowly on the road to recovery.......it is very hard for me to be immobile......very hard...........

Night Sounds...

The time on this post will not lie. I have been awakened by my 5 1/2 month old who has decided that now is the perfect time to toot and talk! He's just cooing away with little interruptions of toots. I've never been one of those very sentimental people that joys to hear their sleeping infant awaken in the night because it's a moment to bond but hearing this has made my heart melt.......and now I think he's back asleep! Oh cuteness!!!

Happy New Year's!

I am all about new things and new goals and new adventures! I may not be the most spontaneous person there is but I do love looking forward to things! And a brand new year is one of them. I wouldn't say that I have any resolutions but more along the lines of aspirations. God is good to me and in that goodness I want to live. In those blessings, I want to try to bless others through Christ. And in His mercy, I will do the best that I can. This year could possibly bring many changes to my life and instead of fearing what those changes might be, I want to embrace them. Even as I sit here typing without the use of one finger, with three sick little boys, missing the first evening church service of the year, I am still surrounded by the warmth of God's never-ending grace and His ever-flowing love. I am blessed!
