Give Thanks
There are so many things that make me grateful
Things that make me smile.
But because my God is always faithful
All things are worth their while
The little things that pass my way
In those short moments of time.
And cause me to laugh with joy
Just because they are mine.
The memories that warm my heart
With the passing of time
Are just a reminder of what’s to come
And of all the blessings of mine.
I know that all things cannot be good
But God makes them good in His name
And those who trust in His Word could
Find peace that His Word can proclaim.
He promises strength, courage, and joy
In all that we say and do
But to Keep God at the center of what we enjoy
God says, “It’s up to youl”
You can embrace what I have given you
And try to say each day
This is the day that the Lord has made
And I will rejoice and pray:
“Lord make me a better person now
Than I was yesterday
Make me loving, caring, and kind
And generous to those You send my way.
I promise to see the good that is there
Even when things seem bad.
And show the world how much I care
And how Your Heart makes me glad.
Lord help me to show in this special way How much you mean to me, And offer more love and forgiveness each day, So others see YOU in me.”
“Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18.
