You're Something Special.

When I was a kid I can clearly remember listening to the song, "You're Something Special", on a vinyl record.  I clearly remember LOVING it!  I didn't remember all the words but the tune and the title were always very special.

When I was "expecting" Nathaniel, my mom found a copy of the book and record online and had someone copy the record to cd.  Not long after Nathaniel arrived home, we sat and listened to the song over and over again.  As we followed along in the book, I realized the words are so fitting for Nathaniel and now Fredrick.  I'm sure the "story" is based on a biological family, but really it speaks volumes to me as an adoptive mom and the perfect way to express how special my boys are.  It is so important for kids, biological, fostered or adopted, to know that they truly are special, that God created them and He has a plan for their life.

You can listen to the song and follow along with the words...Hope you and your children might be blessed by this song! 

YOU'RE SOMETHING SPECIAL - by Bill and Gloria Gaither:

When Jesus sent you to us,

We loved you from the start,

You were just a bit of sunshine

from heaven to our hearts

Not just another baby -

'Cause since the world

began there's been something

very special

for you in His plan.

That's why

He made you special

You're the only one of your kind;

God gave you a body

And a bright healthy mind.

He had a special purpose

that He wanted you to find,

so He made you something special

You're the only one of your kind.

I have a little sister

who's not at all like me,

She can write a

lovely poem

but I can climb a tree;

My brother, tho' he's diff'rent,

with freckles on his nose;

When my questions needed answers,

He's the one who knows.

That's why

I'm something special

I'm the only one of my kind;

God gave me a body and

a bright healthy mind.

He had a special purpose

that He wanted me to find,

so He made me something special

I'm the only one of my kind,

My daddy mows the back yard,

My mommy makes the bed,

My brother cleans the playroom,

I see our dog gets fed;

And each one needs the other

to help him thro`the day

And love must be the reason God

planned it just that way.

That's why

I'm something special

I'm the only one of my kind;

God gave you a body and

a bright healthy mind.

He had a special purpose

that He wanted me to find,

so He made me something special

I'm the only one of my kind,

He made you something special,

He made me something special,

He made you somethings special,

You`re the only one of your kind.
