Be Thankful

I’m thankful for each strand of hair 
That grows upon my head 
I’m thankful for the clothes I wear 
And for a nice warm bed. 

I’m thankful for the caring friends 
Who make me feel so glad 
I’m thankful for a doctor’s care 
When I am feeling bad. 

I’m thankful for a place to pray 
And for the books I read 
I’m thankful for a loving God 
Who meets my every need. 

Be thankful for the difficult times. 
During those times you grow. 

Be thankful for your limitations, 
Because they give you opportunities for improvement. 

Be thankful for each new challenge, 
Because it will build your strength and character. 

Be thankful for your mistakes, 
They will teach you valuable lessons. 

It’s easy to be thankful for the good things. 
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those 
who are also thankful for the setbacks. 

Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive. 

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, 
and they will become your blessings.
