This is the chorus of a Veggie Tales song that has been spinning in my head all week (lets forget the fact that I know the words to a song from a video for five year olds and move on). As I've been practicing being intentionally thankful everyday I'm starting to see that Bob the Tomato and his BFF Larry the Cucumber sure know what they are talking about.
It isn't that I had a bad week. It was pretty good as far as weeks go, it was a little busier than I would have liked, and not great. I just felt kind of "blah".
So I started making lists of things that I was thankful for. Just two or three things everyday. Some of them were big things, like being able to talk to my sister about my life; and some of them were small and silly like apple sauce in a handy little pouch. I didn't write a song about them or anything, I'm not that talented, but I was truly thankful for all of them. And as the week progressed I noticed that my attitude did as well. Not only was I thankful, I was happy.
Well done Bob and Larry. Well done.
The Thankfulness Song
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,
That's 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!
What would your "Thankfulness Song" today say?
