God's Been Good

Ya know, I have been thinking so much lately about how good God is to me. I don't deserve all the blessings that He has bestowed upon me. I don't deserve the wonderful husband that He has given me. Matt and I have been married for over four years now, and I love him so much more today then I did on our wedding day. We are not perfect, but, because of Christ being the main player in our marriage, we have a good marriage and love and respect each other.

I don't deserve the beautiful children God has blessed me with. There was a time in my life that I wondered if I would even be able to safely carry a child, and here I am - expecting my third baby. I am truly amazed at how God has given my frail, broken down body the ability to carry children, and for that I am incredibly thankful.

I don't deserve the extended family that I have been given. My parents, in-laws, brothers, sister, and all their spouses (on both sides) mean more to me than I could ever put into words.

I have a wonderful church family who are so generous not only with their time to help out in any way, but with their love and prayers for us as a family.

I have my health. It seems that every day I hear of someone else my age who is very sick, or going through a terrible loss or experience, and it just gives me pause to thank the Lord for my health and well being. I know He may decide to change that at any time, but even then, He would still be good, and only doing good in my life.

I don't deserve the beautiful house that we are so thankful to live in and fix up the way we want. We love living here.

I don't deserve to be on my way to heaven when I die. I don't deserve to have all my eternal debts paid in full.

I don't deserve any of it.

God is just so good to me.

Legacy Five sings a song called "God's Been Good" which says exactly how I feel. If you have never heard it, copy this link and go to YouTube to see the video. I think you will like it. (sorry, not quite sure how to post it on here and don't feel like figuring it out right now!)
