Thank God For "MY" Kids

Please don’t get tired of song lyrics, it’s just one of those ways God speaks to me. I love my children more than I ever thought I could ever love another person, just as I’m sure you love yours. I love everything about “a child”. I love their innocence, their willingness to love without holding back, their love for others, and most of all I love how they listen to God. They don’t have any, “what if someone is looking or what will people think pre thoughts”. God speaks to their little hearts and they open their mouths to allow God to speak through them. I’ve seen and heard it many times through my own child and so while this song is cute and talks about things like Santa Claus I thank God for “my” kids for all they teach me. I thank God that even though it shouldn’t have worked this way; I believe my children saved my life. They are what keep me going on days when I want to give up. And even though I shouldn’t ever do this, they remind me how much God loves me when I don’t really feel him near. So Lord even though I’ve told you many times before “Thank you so much for the precious gifts you sent just for me”. Thank you for two children who love you and love me through all my failures and thank you for those sweet tender moments when they look at me and I hear the sweetest words, “I love you Mommy”.

If it weren’t for kids have you ever thought
There wouldn’t be no Santa Claus
But look what the stork just bought
Thank God for kids

We’d all live in a quiet house
Without Big Bird or a Mickey Mouse or
Koolaid on the couch
Thank God for kids

Thank God for kids there’s magic for a while
A special kind of sunshine in a smile
And do you ever stop to think or wonder why
The nearest thing to heaven is a child

Daddy how does this thing fly
Another hundred other wheres and whys
I really don’t know but I try
Thank God for kids

Now when I look down in those trusting eyes
that look at me
I realize there is love that I can’t buy
Thank God for kids

Thank God for kids there’s magic for a while
A special kind of sunshine in a smile
And do you ever stop to think or wonder why
The nearest thing to heaven is a child

When you get down on your knees tonight
Thank the lord for his guiding light
Pray things work out right
Thank God for kids
