Array ( [sid] => 156892 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Thank You For My Gift [time] => 2010-01-23 03:45:53 [hometext] => sometimes what we need is right in front of us [bodytext] => Thank You For My Gift

I was sitting here last night
Thinking about all the stuff I’ve been through.
Saw a few pictures we had taken
And my heart felt like it had been renewed

I sat back from my projects
And actually began to smile
Then I started to laugh a little,
Wow it has been a while

I couldn’t help myself as
I nodded my head and began to pray
I thanked the Lord for you right then
And that the sun will shine another day

Then as a tear of joy,
Began to roll down from my eye
I started writing this for you,
Cause I wanted you to know why

I know that you have suffered
Your loss has been so much to bear
I know first hand myself how it feels
When everything seems to be so unfair

And then in my despair just
When I feel the grip of defeat
He always sends me a blessing
To help my stand back on my feet

So many times I never know, who or why
And rarely even see it coming
When the blessing takes hold of me,
Well it’s amazing it really is something

It occurred to me as I sat there
And Trying to reorganize my life
How much you truly have come to mean to me
The level of relief you helped to ease my strife

Then I closed my eyes for a moment
To rest and start to reflect
I never saw that coming
You I definitely didn’t expect

I want to thank you also
For the kindness, patience and respect
Thank you for helping me open up again
With the world helping me to reconnect

I hope and pray you know I’m here for you
That you never have to fear or doubt
All you have to do is call for me
I’m always somewhere around about

I’m so greatful for your gift to me
I know how rare and precious
I‘ll always be mindful of it
And thankful for where He has put Us

I didn’t know how much I enjoyed
Having you around
It truly calms my soul, comfort
And peace again it has helped me found

So I hope your day is wonderful
Knowing now how much to me you mean.
I feel as if I just woke up again, and
My nightmares were replaced by a beautiful dream.

So I thank the Lord again for the blessing of you,
That is shinning down on me
It truly is amazing what we’re given
Even when we’re struggling to believe.
