As I sit here and just think about how much God has blessed our family, I smile and wonder, "why me?" Often times it is so easy to get wrapped up in life. Concerning yourself with the little things that really don't matter. Changing diapers, wiping noses, making, serving, and cleaning up meals can stress even the most patient person out after doing it all day everyday without a break! I then sit down and quietly talk to God...He gently reminds me how wonderful my life is. A loving, faithful and hardworking husband who provides for our family, two wonderful children who are healthy, a beautiful baby coming into this world, created by our Almighty God, two new (to us at least) cars, an awesome house in an incredible neighborhood....WOW! All of those things are so great and make the life He gave us to live wonderful, but the best blessing of all is the ability to serve, love and most importantly have an
intimate relationship with the Jesus who saved us from all of the ugly things of this world! I think this song by Third Day perfectly describes how I feel and how I want to worship the Creator of the Universe that holds me so closely and catches all my tears...
"May Your Wonders Never Cease"
Third Day
Father in Heaven Lord, may Your name be glorified Above all others Above all this world Above everything else in our lives For nothing else in all of this world matters But to live our lives for You and You alone. May Your wonders never cease. May Your Spirit never leave. May we ever long to see Your face. When we’ve turned from You, again, Oh how quickly we forget. May we be reminded of Your grace. May wonders never cease. Beautiful Savior, Truly You proved Your love for us. While we were sinners in all our weakness, Still You gave Your life upon the cross. You saved us, Lord, from all of our transgressions. And delivered us into Your loving arms. Father in Heaven, Lord, may Your name be glorified. Above all others. Above all this world. Above everything else that’s in our lives. For nothing else in all of this world matters, but to live our life for You and You alone.
