This morning, I’m thankful
For where I’ve been, what I’ve come through,
And where I am able to go.
Thankful. Completely. Blessed.

Is everything right with the world?
No. Never has been, nor will be.
But if I keep adding positive thoughts
Then it’s better than thinking negative.

Keywords are often the best way to acknowledge
From yesterday and what was
Through today and what will be
Slinging and singing, praising and saying
Just let my attitude keep my focus. Upward!

There is a psalm that speaks of the valley
Under the shadow of death,
But how often did we stride through
And never knew how close the negatives were?

There is a praise that starts with the sun
Morning, Noon and Evening, then the night
Through it all we learn the power of praise
Even with the storms onslaughts

Just keep walking, never alone
There will always be victory
If not now and here,
It will come then, and there.

Just be thankful, though tears may flow
Lemons? Lemonade. Afraid? Be strong.
Not knowing how to respond?
Trust. Faith. Peace. Grace.
Thankful? That’s how I make it.

Thanks for Reading!
