Thankful...

My Heavenly Father Loves Me!

Whenever I hear the song of a bird
or look at the blue, blue sky,
Whenever I feel the rain on my face
or the wind as it rushes by,
Whenever I touch a velvet rose
or walk by a lilac tree,
I'm glad that I live in this beautiful world
Heavenly Father created for me.

He gave me my eyes that I might see
The color of butterfly wings
He gave my ears that I might hear
The Magical sounds of things
He gave me life, my mind, my heart
I thank him reverently
For all his creations, of which I'm a part
Yes, I Know Heavenly Father Loves Me!

Yesterday in Relief Society we had a great lesson and we sang this song. I could help but sit back and think how Blessed we are!
I'm Thankful for:
Hands: to wipe snotty noses, tie shoes, curl hair, cook dinner, hold my kids, hold hands, painting little finger nails, color with the kids...
Eyes: to see my kids smile, watch sunsets, look into Heath Big blue eyes, watch the change of seasons...
Ears: to Listen to good music, hear the kids laugh, talk on the phone with friends and family, hear my kids pray, late night talks with Heath in bed, listening and learning at church ...
Mouth: To enjoy a yummy meal, kiss, sing, laugh, have a family talk around the table...

I am Blessed

I totally agree! May I add one thing I am thankful for? The feeling of warmth of a little body snuggled up against Mommy!
Thanks for this beautiful Monday morning post!

We sang that song in RS too and I had those same thoughts. Life is good! How did we get so blessed? I love how you always find the good in everyday. With all the craziness that I know comes with 5 kids and and busy busy life -you always seem so happy and grateful. You are a good example! Love you!

That song is one of my all time favs! Sometimes you just sing songs going through the motions and not really listening to what you are actually singing, and this song is amazing! Your posts are always so uplifting and inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
