A SURE WAY TO A THANKFUL DAY

Thankfulness is something we create in our mind.

It’s not something you search for and so seldom find.

It’s just waking up and beginning the day

By counting our blessings and be sure to pray.

It’s giving up thoughts that breathe discontent

And accepting what comes as a gift Heaven sent.

It’s giving up wishes for things we have not

And making the best of whatever we’ve got.

It’s knowing that life is determined for us

And pursuing our tasks without fret, fume or fuss.

It’s by completing what God gives us to do

That we find real contentment and thankfulness too.
