I was thinking of this song today, and this version made me smile :) Lyrics are below
I thank God for this day,
For the sun in the sky,
For my mom and my dad,
For my piece of apple pie!
For our home on the ground,
For His love that's all around,
That's why I say thanks every day!
Because a thankful heart is a happy heart!
I'm glad for what I have,
Thats an easy way to start!
For the love that He shares,
'Cause He listens to my prayers,
That's why I say thanks every day!
My friend posted yesterday about being thankful even through hard times. Sometimes, that is so hard for us to do. A lot of the time it feels impossible. If we can be thankful for even one thing during a hardship, it will make our lives seem easier and we will be happier. We are alive and breathing- shouldn't that be enough in itself? I was thinking about all the people in the south who lost their homes to tornadoes recently. These people would do anything to have their homes back, their lives back. And yet, we sit here complaining that our houses aren't big enough, clean enough, or pretty enough. Our priorities seem a little messed up to me. Life may not be perfect right now, for me or for you, but we at least need to be grateful for who and what we have in our lives. You never know if you are going to wake up one day and it will all be taken away.
