Blessings

Many of you have probably had the privilege of hearing this beautiful song, Blessings, by Laura Story. If not, you will be blessed in hearing it below (be sure to pause the music on the playlist at the bottom of the blog first). The message of the song compels me to ponder the blessings I've experienced, even in the midst of loss. I pray it will do the same for you too. Just last week Deanna, one of the leaders for our Ames group, emailed me about this song and pulled the following quote from Laura Story's website as she commented about the song:

“The song shows that we still have more questions than answers,” Laura confesses. “But there’s a decision that I find God is asking us to make: whether we are going to choose to interpret our circumstances based on what we hold to be true about God, or whether we’re going to judge what we hold to be true about God based on our circumstances.” ~ Laura Story

Be Blessed, Mommies! And if you are so inclined, share the story of your "blessings" in the comments below...
