AT LAST

I just love the lyrics of the Etta James classic, "At Last":

At last

my love has come along

my lonely days are over

And life is like a song

Ooh, yeah, yeah

At last

The skies above are blue

my heart was wrapped up i clover

the night I looked at you

I found a dream

That I could speak to

a dream that I

Can call my own

I found a thrill

to press my cheek to

a thrill that I have never known

You smile

You smile

Ooh and then the spell was cast

And here we are in heaven

for you are mine at last

This song was one of mine and Jose's wedding songs, the other "Bendita la Luz", I blogged about in a previous post. The lyrics seemed so perfect in describing my husband and how I felt in finally meeting the man of my dreams. I spent many, many years making many, many mistakes in the relationship department and it was just as the song said, "...the skies above are blue, my heart was wrapped up in clover the night I looked at you..."

These lyrics and this song touched me once again when my beautiful little girl was born! I swear I could hear the words and song in my head the first time I saw her. Every time I listen to this song I am reminded that I am living every desire/dream I had. My prayers answered. The dream isn't an exact replica of what I had seen but every single important detail is there. This summer I will turn 35, I just celebrated my 2nd wedding anniversary, my little girl will be 1 year old at the end of this month and a new baby will be joining our family this summer. I could never have imagined at 30 years old that only 5 years later I would have the love of my life and the family I dreamed of, "...I found a dream that I could speak to; A dram that I can call my own; I found a thrill to rest my cheek to; A thrill that I have never known...And here we are in heaven for you are mine At last"

I am so thankful for a Father in Heaven, that despite my imperfections granted me my hearst desire, I am so grateful for a loving, dedicated and hard-working husband who cherishes and loves his Father in Heaven and is equally dedicated to doing His work!

Happy New Year!
