In Everything
Sometimes I don’t feel thankful
For things You send my way
For all the pain and trouble
That crossed my path today.
Sometimes I’m not so grateful
When sorrow fills my cup
When all my hopes and blessings
Feel totally used up.
When friendships fade
Promises break
And treasures disappear
When all the trials around me
Fill my heart with fear.
But in everything
I will give thanks
For this I know is true
That all these trials and troubles, Lord,
They bring me close to you.
-Jackson Monroe-
Making a gratitude list helps in this time of year because it has helped me.
Gratitude list:
1) The roof over my head
2) The clothes on my back
3) My eyesight
4) Working fingers, toes, knees, feet, and hands
5) Hearing
6) Dog Sadie Mae
7) Able to work in God's ministries as I am
8) Food
9) flushing toilets
10) pillow and blankets
Now you use these items or make your own and start at scratch.
