No one ever said that life would be easy -- this world is not perfect, that is for sure. However, over the last couple of months, I think that I have gotten so caught up in the things of this world that don't make sense to me, or that hurt me in one way or another, and I have totally been missing out on all of the wonderful blessings that God has given me. And the number one blessing in my life is my little boy...it's funny how when things are going wrong, I can get down on myself or feel lonely at times...but then I see his wonderful smile and his eyes watching my every move -- and I am reminded that I have such a responsibility to him, and the journey is going to be beautiful. I thank God for seeing something in me and in my life that he would trust me to raise one of his children.
There is a song that Martina McBride sings about her daughter...while the lyrics refer to a girl -- I like to listen to it and apply it to my life as well. When I read these words -- I am reminded that I am pretty important to a little two year old boy -- and that is always enough to keep me going...
"In my daughter's eyes I am a hero.
I am strong and wise and I know no fear.
But the truth is plain to see,
She was sent to rescue me.
I see who I wanna be,
In my daughter's eyes.
In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal.
Darkness turns to light and the world is at peace.
This miracle God gave to me,
gives me strength when I am weak.
I find reason to believe,
In my daughter's eyes.
And when she wraps her hand around my finger,
Oh it puts a smile in my heart.
Everything becomes a little clearer;
I realize what life is all about.
It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough.
It's giving more when you feel like giving up.
I've seen the light,
It's in my daughter's eyes.
In my daughter's eyes I can see the future.
A reflection of who I am and what will be.
Though she'll grow and someday leave;
Maybe raise a family.
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy she made me.
For I'll be there,
In my daughter's eyes."
