Thankful

I allow myself to start listening to Christmas music the week of Thanksgiving. So today I put on my first Christmas CD, Josh Groban's "Noel." ( If you haven't got it...do it now! ) Then put it on track 6. The song is beautiful and the lyrics are particularly meaningful, especially at this time. If you have a minute, read them! It is a great reminder of how blessed we truly are!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thankful

Somedays we forget to look around us.

Somedays 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 tonight we pray for what we know can be.

And everyday 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!
