Thank God for Kids

I grew up in a house that listened to country music. Like 80s country music...
Think Dolly Parton and Kenny Rodgers, Oak Ridge Boys and Bellamy Brothers. Oh yes, I lip-sang with the hairbrush to Crystal Gale (hair down to her feet).

Well I heard this song recently and it completely took me back to Christmas time as a five year old and I just sat and listened to the song. And now as a mom, I can love it on a whole new level. I just loved the words, so I am sharing it with you. Pretty much whether you like it or not! hee hee! No really, take the time to listen and soak in the words.



I think I will make my sister cry... well, maybe not cry, but choke her up a little!

Plus you can look at old and new pictures of adorable kids that I know and love:

Thank God for kids Lyrics:
If it weren't for kids have you ever thought
There wouldn't be no Santa Clause
Look what the stork just brought
Thank God for Kids

We'd all live in a quiet house
Without Big Bird or a Mickey Mouse
And Kool-aid on the couch
Thank God for Kids

Thank God for kids there's magic for a while
A special kind of sunshine in a smile
Do you ever stop to think? or wonder why?
The nearest thing to Heaven is a child


Daddy how does this thing fly?
A hundred other where's and why's
You really don't know but I try
Thank God for Kids


When I look down in those trustin eyes
That look to me, I realize
there's a love that I can't buy
Thank God for Kids


Thank God for there's magic for a while
A special kind of sunshine in a smile
Do you ever stop to think? or wonder why?
The nearest thing to Heaven is a child


When you get down on your knees tonight
To thank the Lord for his guiding light
And pray they turn out right
Thank God for Kids
