“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 N.I.V.
When you’re tired of this life
And we often are
Tired of the news being bad
Constant repairs on the car.
When you’re health’s declining
And the bills pile up
The harder you try the worse it gets
Nothing at all in your cup.
When your child’s in trouble
And nothing you can do
Or your spouse walks out
Shocking and surprising you.
Be filled with gratitude!
Circumstances may not change
Life may still be tough
The difference will be in you
How you respond when it’s rough.
Don’t deny the realities
But look for something
That you can praise God for
Let Heaven with your praises ring.
God is walking right beside you
Guiding you through the storm
So if nothing else my friend
Let that keep you warm.
Be filled with gratitude!
-d.f.a.v. 11/24/13
Being grateful with you,
