We take so much for granted We fail to thank God above For all the many gifts He gave And for His glorious love. We don't need a special occasion To thank Him for all we've got Just stop and think for a moment And you're bound to remember a lot. For the alarm when it wakes us Even though we'd rather sleep in But let us thank Him for that too For it's another day we begin. For the rain that may come pouring When we'd rather have a sunny day But let us thank Him for that too For the rain brings many bouquets. For the laundry I know I must wash And the meals I need to prepare But let us always be thankful to Him For food we eat and clothes we wear. © 2002  Ruth Ann Mahaffey Used with permission Please honor author's copyrights by seeking permission first before using this poem in any way.  To reach author, click on her name above.         Midi playing ~ "The Butterfly" Composed and © Bruce DeBoer Used with permission   Main graphic ~ PSP Goodies   Created exclusively for Living Each Day Brought to you by Living Each Day © 2003-present, Adelle North, All Rights Reserved
