Laura Story - Blessings

Much has happened this week. Teresa's horse had to be put down..a precious 4 year old we know is battling leukemia plus a rotten cold and double ear infection.(he's better praise God!) I heard of another dear soul diagnosed with cancer...there is much suffering in our world isn't there?

I heard this song this afternoon on the way to town. It was a God event; how did this woman know my life?? Honestly, it's as if she peered into the last 3 1/2 years and wrote about my struggles, trails, pain and loss..I miss my brother mightily and know one knows except me and Jesus the depth of my aches and pains..and you know what? I am alright with that- Loss cannot be quantified or measured in degrees.

I pray you will be blessed mightily.. listen to ALL the words.

I do believe Lord,

Bonnie

Blessings

We pray for blessings

We pray for peace

Comfort for family, protection while we sleep

We pray for healing, for prosperity

We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering

All the while, You hear each spoken need

Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

‘Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears

What if a thousand sleepless nights

Are what it takes to know You’re near

What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise?

We pray for wisdom

Your voice to hear

And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near

We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love

As if every promise from Your Word is not enough

All the while, You hear each desperate plea

But long that we'd have the faith to believe

‘Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears

What if a thousand sleepless nights

Are what it takes to know You’re near

And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise?

When friends betray us

When darkness seems to win

We know the pain reminds this heart

That this is not, this is not our home,

‘Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears

And what if a thousand sleepless nights

Are what it takes to know You’re near

What if my greatest disappointments

Or the aching of this life

Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy

And what if trials of this life

The rain, the storms, the hardest nights

Are your mercies in disguise?
