Another wonderful day to be alive. And yes, another song that says it for me today. I am so thankful God gave the gift of songwriting to people, just wish it had been me. Nevertheless, nothing speaks to me like music and I really want to pass these words on today.

There's nothing like the warmth of a summer afternoon
Waking to the sunlight, and being cradled by the moon
Catching fireflies at night
Building castles in the sand
Kissing Mama's face goodnight
Holding Daddy's hand
Thank you Lord, how could I ask for more

Running barefoot through the grass
A little hide and go seek
Being so in love, that you can hardly eat
Dancing in the dark, when there's no one else around
Being bundled 'neath the covers, watching snow
Fall to the ground
Thank you Lord, how could I ask for more

So many things I thought would bring me happiness
Some dreams that are realities today
Such an irony the things that mean the most to me
Are the memories that I've made along the way

So if there's anything I've learned
From this journey I am on
Simple truths will keep you going
Simple love will keep you strong
Cause there are questions without answers
Flames that never die
Heartaches we go through are often blessings in disguise
So thank you Lord, oh thank you Lord
How could I ask for more

These thoughts in this song are so true in my heart that I'm sure somewhere along the way I would have written them. (LOL) It is amazing how much this expresses where I've been living lately. I'm very thankful for what
God has taught me on this journey.
