Laura Story - Blessings Lyrics

I lost my best friend (age 12) on July 10 2012. This song was played at her and another girl that died candlelight vigil. Also sung on her funeral...

I have lead a long life of struggle from an early age on I am now 62 and still working through it all this song brings cleanansing sobs to my heart I almost had to stop driving today thank you for reminding me that God uses this all to help us be a blessing to the world.

Josie, God has you in the palm of his hands. I am praying for you.

Praying for you, dear... God restores the years the locusts have eaten. Your future is held in the hands of our awesome God! Follow where He leads and love Him with all your heart.

two years ago i got this condition that i lost my hair and i have two older sisters and the one overdosed on hariwen (srry 4 spelling) right in front of me that is what caused it and this song explains everyting so then my hair grew back and now it is starting a cycle agian and i have a wig but right now i dont whear it it isnt that bad yet and my sister who overdosed is going to rehab but things are not good and my dad live in NY and i live in PA. and the worst part is im turning only 13 this august so i really never had time to be a kid so if you read this i really need prayers please please!

Interesting how 2009 was the year for you when you felt everything that is told in this very song. It is just the same how I felt when I first heard this song. And it was 2009 for me too. "And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, to them that are called according to his purpose."

I went through some pretty awful things back in 2009. At the time I didn't understand what it all would mean. I tried to keep positive and pray for God to show me. Slowly things began to take shape and turn around. It turned out it was all God's plan to change and improve many things in my life. I heard this song and it was such a blessing. It put it all in perspective. My first thought when I heard the song was "THAT's IT!!!" That's how I felt! How wonderful. The song has blessed me every time I hear it because I am reminded how much God loved me. How He took all the bad things and pain and turned them into a wonderful opportunity for change and growth. Praise God!

this is one of my favorite songs...

Love this song. The lyrics remind us that His ways are higher than ours and that we should not expect our prayers be answered in the ways we want. We are to trust Him for He loves us deeply and He is faithful.

Yes, indeed blessings come in all colors, shapes, and forms. Thank you LORD!

Going through heartache as my 55 yr. old niece battles for her life. I heard this song as I was driving to the hospital to spend time with her and it was the message I needed right at that moment.

Confirmation of God's word.

our blessings come in many ways , even the not so very pleasant things in our lives may appear to be blessings in disguise.so always count your blessings... thank you Jesus for my cup runneth over!

Laura, this song grabs my heart. It is so true and down to earth....this song is a blessing to me and I'm sure it is to everyone who hears it....thank-you for sharing with us. Liz ;)
