Blessed

How many times do we miss blessings

because they are not packaged as we expected?

290. Malli's blue eyes

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. Psalm 23:6

I love this picture of Malli. Her happy, cheerful, content, peaceful spirit ... and those blue eyes. She is such a blessing! I remember a few months before she was born I heard the song Blessed by Elton John on the radio. At that time I had no idea about the joy this child would bring me. I heard the song on the radio today and just had to post the words here.

Great lyrics.

Hey you, you're a child in my head

You haven't walked yet

Your first words have yet to be said

But I swear you'll be blessed

I know you're still just a dream

Your eyes might be green

Or the bluest that I've ever seen

Anyway you'll be blessed

And you, you'll be blessed

You'll have the best

I promise you that

I'll pick a star from the sky

Pull your name from a hat

I promise you that,

promise you that,

promise you that

You'll be blessed

I need you before I'm too old

To have and to hold

To walk with you

and watch you grow

And know that you're blessed

Music by Elton John
