Thankful (thank you, Lorde!)

Happy Thanksgiving! No one’s life is trouble-free – this is an encouragement to us all to practice gratitude each day for our many blessings. Thank you, Lorde, for your great music! May God bless you, protect you, and give you peace!

Music: “Royals” (Lorde)

Words by me: Come, let us now remember thankfulness. A special day that we call Thanksgiving, to remind us to count the ways that we are blessed in our lives – be glad, no gripes, no envy. Sometimes we feel a little grumpy, thankless, unappreciative, critical, malcontent, disassociative. We forget to practice gratitude each day. Seems like everybody’s happy, smiling, fulfilled in relationship, moving forward, showing off their latest trip. We forget that no one’s life is trouble-free. And we’ll always be thankful in every circumstance for all the things God’s done for us. We can give thanks (not make a fuss). Let us choose to say “Thank you” each and every day. Let thanks be our rule, more than just a courtesy. It’s time for thankfulness to flow as we get together, far and wide, with our families. And everyone who knows us knows that the words we say show what’s inside our souls. Sometimes we feel a little grumpy, thankless, unappreciative, critical, malcontent, disassociative. We forget to practice gratitude each day. Seems like everybody’s happy, smiling, fulfilled in relationship, moving forward, showing off their latest trip. We forget that no one’s life is trouble-free. And we’ll always be thankful in every circumstance for all the things God’s done for us. We can give thanks (not make a fuss). Let us choose to say “Thank you” each and every day. Let thanks be our rule, more than just a courtesy.
