Bless Us All in 2013

A Christmas tradition in our family that we have been keeping since 4 years ago - is to watch the Muppets Christmas Carol. This year, we watched the whole show while traveling back from church on Christmas Eve. And this song always always warms my heart and makes me tear - a prayer sung by Tiny Tim. The words in bold hold special to me as it reminds me of my dear and precious family and especially my playful Samuel. Here's to all of you  - a prayer for 2013.

Life is full of sweet surprises
Everyday's a gift
The sun comes up and I can feel it lift my spirit
Fills me up with laughter, fills me up with song
I look into the eyes of love and know that I belong

Bless us all, who gather here
The loving family I hold dear
No place on earth, compares with home
And every path will bring me back from where I roam

Bless us all, that as we live
We always comfort and forgive
We have so much, that we can share
With those in need we see around us everywhere

Let us always love each other
Lead us to the light
Let us hear the voice of reason, singing in the night
Let us run from anger and catch us when we fall
Teach us in our dreams and please, yes please
Bless us one and all

Bless us all with playful years
With noisy games and joyful tears
We reach for You and we stand tall
And in our prayers and dreams
We ask You bless us all

We reach for You and we stand tall
And in our prayers and dreams we ask you 

Bless us all

May we take nothing for granted and hold every moment special to our hearts. Always thankful, always grateful, always praising God.
