The narrator talks about how she is “blessed” in many ways.
The music video was directed by Deaton Flanigen and premiered in late 2001. It is the first of her videos to feature her 2 older daughters, who would later appear in the videos for "This One's For The Girls" and "Teenage Daughters". The video also features her husband John, and although set in a forest, it was actually filmed on a soundstage in Nashville.
