Thank you Lord

Every day be thankful
for what you have

and who you are.....

Even though I clutch my blanket and 

growl when the alarm rings

Thank you Lord, that I can hear.

There are many who are deaf...

Even though I keep my eyes closed against the

 morning light as long as possible.

Thank you Lord, that I can see.

 Many are blind...

Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising.

Thank you Lord, That I have the strength to rise.

There are many who are bedridden...

Even though the first hour of the day is hectic, 

when my socks are lost, and tempers

are short, my children are so loud.

Thank you Lord, for my family.

There are many who are lonely...

Even though our breakfast table never looks

 like the pictures in magazines and the menu 

is at times unbalanced
Thank you Lord for the food we have...

There are many who are hungry...

Even though I grumble and bemoan on my fate

 from day to day and wish my circumstances

were not so modest, 

Thank you Lord for life...
