Today I put on some music while I was doing some cleaning around the house and immediately found myself in tears. I was listening to a CD called He Loves Me Still. This CD is full of so many insights and reminders of who I’m trying to be. I’ve always been especially fond of the first song titled I’ve got Everything. Today it was a reminder of all I do have and I’ve spent way to much time thinking about what I don’t have. I’ve always been amazed how music has a way of reaching through all the walls and barriers you build up around yourself. I’d like to share the words of this song with you.

You’ve been working on the car again just to keep it running still
And I can’t help but notice all those houses up on the hill
We don’t have a lot of money, we’re scraping by it seems
But don’t think that I’m unhappy, I’ve got more than I could dream

I’ve got you here to hold me and a little boy who smiles
I’ve got sunsets to remind me to stop and savor life
I’ve got friends who stand by me and my heart is full of love
I’ve got a song to sing
I’ve got everything

Like tonight when we were walking and the wind blew through the trees
You kissed me like you mean it, the best things in life are free
And I know how hard we’re working and how crazy life has been
But I can’t wait for tomorrow to do it all again

(Chorus)

I’ve just begun to notice, my eyes can finally see
That it is so amazing how the good Lord blesses me

(Chorus)

I’ve got everything

What a song! I love the line “That it is so amazing how the good Lord blesses me” Life doesn’t seem to go the way I’ve planned very often, but if I adjust my will to the Lord’s it is clear to see how he blesses me and my family so abundantly.
