An Attitude of Gratitude

An attitude of gratitude
Should be striven for each day.
This feeling of thanksgiving
Is God’s chosen way.

For everything you are grateful for
Will increase one hundred fold.
And within a humble heart
God turns wishes into gold.

For everyday I seem to understand
My gratitude increases,
So do joy and happiness
While despair and pain decreases.

God loves a merry heart,
And He loves the humble, too.
He continues to send His blessings.
Now my troubles seem so few.

An attitude of gratitude
Has filled my heart with joy.
I feel such love and happiness,
My life I now enjoy.


Gratitude Is the Key

I am thankful for the stars that shine
In the Heavens up above.
I am thankful for my Lord and Savior,
And God’s all abiding Love.

I am thankful for the river
That flows so swift and free,
And the trees that blow so gently
As Nature sings to me.

I look across the table
At my children and I see
The precious gifts of love
That God sent just for me.

My heart is full of gratitude.
My eyes, they now can see.
And as I prayed to God above,
He gave these words to me.

“A humble heart is a grateful heart.
This message is not new.
For everything you’ll ever need
Is waiting here for you!”
