I fell in love with this song the very first time I heard it. I love that it declares that, in spite of what's going on in our lives, we are to bless the name of our God. I love the line, You give and take away. Time and time again, that line rings true in my life.
We are attending a funeral tomorrow for my brother-in-law's grandma. Her death came very suddenly...yet it was a blessing that she didn't have to suffer.
But, then there's the flip side of that...
I am going to be an auntie twice this year! Two of my sisters-in-law are pregnant...and both of them are having girls! I am SO excited for all of this girly goodness coming into our family...especially because my husband only has brothers...so more girls are needed for sure!
In the midst of all this, I've been reflecting on this powerful truth all week. It's made me feel the need to share my feelings immediately with people...instead of waiting for the "perfect" moment. It's made me want to seize the opportunities I have in front of me...instead of waiting to see if I change my mind on them. It's made me long for more opportunities to share my heart with others...instead of hiding from the chance to do so.
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
My heart is choosing to bless His name today. And, it's a wonderful way to spend a day.

You have such a great heart! I love that song too!! I'm so glad that you are choosing to bless his name today! We serve such a great God!
It's one of my fave P&W songs, too. Congrats on being a double auntie!
