the free blessings



{us guhrlz}
I am blessed.
Oh so incredibly blessed.

How do I ever forget this?
How can I ever complain?

I could never deserve all God has blessed me with.
It's Grace, undeserved and spilling over.
The Love of a Saviour though I am a sinner.

It's in the smiles and silly faces of four tiny people.
It's their laughter and embraces.
This soul deep kind of love that carries us.

It's in his voice when he looks at me.
His eyes that say it all.
The forever love of my very best friend.

There is no thing that can compare with these.
No worldly possession.
No earthly treasure.

The greatest blessings after all
 are the ones I've been given for free.

    I agree, I have to remind myself that sometimes. My life is so blessed, but like Jonah, I often complain, when I should feel more blessed.
