WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR?
by Stan Arney © 2007

Are you thankful for the roof over your head
That your house is warm as you snuggle into bed
Are you thankful that you have food on your table
That you have a job that helps you be more than able

Are you thankful for all the clothes from which you may choose
Or do they make you think of the weight you wish to lose
Are you thankful for the water at your fingertips
That washes your clothes, your body, and wets your parched lips

Are you thankful for all your electricity
Without it, just think about how bored you would be
Are you thankful for your mode of transportation
Or do you prefer bipedal locomotion

Are you thankful for each sunrise and every sunset
That anytime you can be a blonde, redhead or brunette
Are you thankful that you are what God created you to be
That He molds and changes your imperfections, perfectly

Every good and perfect gift is given from God
To assume you simply deserve it, seems rather odd
Did you know God provides everything for you
It’s part of His plan and His ultimate path for you

Are you thankful that God gave us Jesus
The Savior of the sinner, which includes all of us
Are you thankful for His free gift of salvation
It was not meant for some, but for everyone.
