Thank You Lord!!!


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.
There are many who 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 my
day is hectic, when socks are lost,
toast is burned, tempers are short,
and 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 the routine of
My job is often monotonous,
thank you, Lord, for the
opportunity to work.
There are many who have no job.

Even though I grumble and bemoan
my fate from day to day
and wish my circumstances
were not so modest,
thank you, Lord, for life.

If we can pass this on
to most people we know,
it might help them see
The Lord's blessings in their lives.

Pass it on..…
