I am grateful

I love the song "Gratitude". Here are the words lyrics as ellas the music in the video link ---->click here--->(video I made). I hope it will bless you. I foud that sometimes God's answer in our struggle is that He won't take it away but He will be with us in it and teach us things through it too.:

Send some rain, would you send some rain

'Cuz the Earth is dry and needs to drink again

And the sun is high and we are sinking in the shade

Would you send a cloud, Thunder long and loud

Let the sky grow black and send some mercy down

Surely you can see that we are thirsty and afraid

Or maybe not,not today, Maybe you'll provide in other ways

And if that's the case?

We'll give thanks to you with gratitude

For lessons learned in how to thirst for you

How to bless the very sun that warms our face

If you never send us rain

Daily bread, give us daily bread, bless our bodies

Keep our children fed, fill our cups

then fill them up again, tonight

O Wrap us up and warm us through

Tucked away beneath our sturdy roofs

Let us slumber safe from dangers few this time

Or maybe not,not today, Maybe you'll provide in other ways

And if that's the case?

We'll give thanksto you with gratitude

For lessons learned in how to hunger after for you

Let a starry sky offer a better view if no roof is overhead

And if we never taste that bread

O the differences that often are between everything we want

and what we really need

So grant us peace, Jesus grant us peace

Move our hearts to hear a single beat

Between alibis and enemies tonight

or maybe not? Not today,

peace might be abother world away

and if that's the case?

We'll give thanks to you with gratitude

for lessons learned in how to trust in you

That we are blessed beyond what we could ever dream

in abundance or in need

and if you never grant us peace,

but Jesus, would you please?

I am grateful to get another clean report.

I am grateful for snuggling with my boys this morning, for being able to make them chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, for being able to run on the treadmill today, for having no pain, and I am grateful that their dad is still with us.

SpunkyGirl:  That sounds like a really nice way to spend time!  Glad you enjoyed your day that way.
