Thanksgiving has come and gone but the spirit of thankfulness should remain in hearts all year round. Just saying a heartfelt “Thank you, Lord” every day can do wonders for your soul.
Thank You, God, for little things
That come unexpectedly
To brighten up a dreary day
that dawned so dismally.
Thank You, God, for sending
A happy thought my way
To blot out my sadness
On a disappointing day.
Thank You, God for brushing
The dark clouds from my mind
And leaving only sunshine
And joy of heart behind.
Oh, God the list is endless
Of things to thank You for,
But I take them all for granted
And unconsciously ignore
That everything I think or do,
Each movement that I make,
Each measured rhythmic heartbeat,
Each breath of life I take
Is something You have given me
For which there is no way
For me in all my smallness
To in any way repay.
