Thankfulness

"I thank God for this day,
For the sun in the sky,
For my mom and my dad,
For my piece of apple pie!

For our home on the ground,
For His love that's all around,
That's why I say thanks every day!

Because a thankful heart is a happy heart!
I'm glad for what I have,
Thats an easy way to start!

For the love that He shares,
'Cause He listens to my prayers,
That's why I say thanks every day!"



Many of you may have heard this song as a kid or because of your kids. But if we actually listen to the words they are quite great! We should thank God for all the things in life, even the little things!
