blessed be the name

As I was putting Alexa to sleep last night, thinking about going back to work today, we were listening to a CD called Praise Baby that Grammy bought us. A song came on that--along with the support and encouragement of many others--reminded me to stay focused on the positive and the blessings that are in my life.

Blessed Be the Name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

So... I am blessed to have a great job, I am blessed to be able to arrive home at 4, I am blessed to have Christmas vacation,
Spring break, Summers, and other various holidays off, and most of all, I am BLESSED to have a beautiful, healthy, daughter
to come home to every day!  :)

This is how my little angel looked when I left this morning:

sleeping peacefully in her bed.   I can't wait to get home today to kiss that
angel face!
