Thankfully I still think he's
the best thing in my life.
We have FOUR beautiful children-
two born to us -
two born in our hearts -
all equally gifts from God.
They tell me these
are the best times of my life...

God has given me
while trying to find joy
in the simple things.

I saw Jeremy Camp on 700 Club and did you know that he wrote this song just as his wife died in the hospital?????? They had only been married a few months and she had cancer. Yikes. Takes on a whole new meaning to the song for me. It was a great interview and a wonderful story of God's love and healing and redemption. Just a side note for you!
Love this song, love everything Jeremy Camp does. Wonderful lyrics and message. Hugs!
