May I Have a Thankful Heart

MAY I HAVE A THANKFUL HEART

It's so easy to be thankful

When our barns are brimming o'er,

When earth's harvest fills our table,

Doting friends knock at our door.

It's so easy to be thankful

When our way is bright and fair,

When we walk in perfect wholeness,

And we have enough to spare.

But what about the barren times

When thick darkness clouds our day;

Do we offer God thanksgiving

For the trials that come our way?

For our earthly tribulations

Are a blessing from God's hand,

For there are lessons to be learned

That adversities demand.

So may I have a thankful heart,

One that's full of grateful praise.

May I recognize God's blessings

Come disguised in diffrent ways.

I have been facebooking daily about my blessings this November,

and I thought this was just a beautiful reminder about

gratitude and thankfulness.

Hope it blesses you!
