Dirty Dishes

Do you ever hear a song that really touches your heart? Well this one did that for me today. It reminded me that all the hard work we put into raising our little boy and giving him the best life we possibly can is SO worth all of the hard work and lost hours of sleep. It reminded me that we should thank the Lord for noisy children and slamming doors, and clothes scattered all over the floor,  a husband working all of the time.. dragging in dead tired at night, and a never ending messy kitchen. I just love when I find a song like this. It's worth it all!!

Scotty McCreery - Dirty Dishes

Mama hollers "Supper time,
And don't make me tell you twice
Wash your hands and wipe your face.
The table's no place for your toys,
And try to use your inside voice,
Don't dig in 'til we say Grace."
So we put down our forks and bowed our heads
And then she prayed the strangest prayer ever said:

"I wanna thank You Lord,
For noisy children and slamming doors,
And clothes scattered all over the floor,
My husband workin' all the time,
Draggin' in dead tired at night,
My never ending messy kitchen
And dirty dishes."
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/scotty_mccreery/dirty_dishes.html ]
We all got real still and quiet,
And daddy asked "Hon, are you alright?"
She said, "Dear, ain't nothing wrong,
Noisy kids are happy kids,
And slamming doors just means we live,
In a warm and loving home,
Your long hours and those dishes in the sink,
Means a job and enough to eat.

So I'm gonna thank You Lord,
For noisy children and slamming doors,
And clothes scattered all over the floor,
A husband workin' all the time,
Draggin' in dead tired at night,
A never ending messy kitchen

For my little busy bees
Beggin' mama, mama can we please?
Always wantin' me to call their name
Loads of laundry pilin' up
Crayons crushed into the rug
And those little sticky kisses
And dirty dishes,
And dirty dishes..."

I hope you all are having an amazing weekend with the ones you love!
