Some days we forget...

"Thankful"

Some days we forget

To look around us

Some days we can't see

The joy that surrounds us

So caught up inside ourselves

We take when we should give.

So for tonight we pray for

What we know can be.

And on this day we hope for

What we still can't see.

It's up to us to be the change

And even though we all can still do more

There's so much to be thankful for.

Look beyond ourselves

There's so much sorrow

It's way too late to say

I'll cry tomorrow

Each of us must find our truth

It's so long overdue

So for tonight we pray for

What we know can be

And every day we hope for

What we still can't see

It's up to us to be the change

And even though we all can still do more

There's so much to be thankful for.

Even with our differences

There is a place we're all connected

Each of us can find each other's light

So for tonight we pray for

What we know can be

And on this day we hope for

What we still can't see

It's up to us to be the change

And even though this world needs so much more

There's so much to be thankful for...

You know, sometimes I forget to just look around me. And sometimes I can't see the joy all around me. I get too caught up inside myself and I just forget to give. So my prayer is for what I know I could be. And I hope for the change I still can't see. It's up to me to let Him make the change. And even if I know I could let Him do more, I've so much to be Thankful for! 
Even with our differences, there is that place He'll make us all connected, if each of us will only follow His light.

I love this song. The words (with a few changes) might have been poured out of my very soul. I know I might have blogged this at thanksgiving, but lately I've re-realized how much I have been given.
I hope this makes you think of what you are thankful for.
And what you could do for someone else to be thankful for.
And what God could do in your life for you to be thankful for.

God Bless, Ya'll.
