Always be thankful

I’m giving thanks for the gift of living happily.

Surrounded by God’s grace. Accompanied by friends and family.

I’m giving thanks for good health flowing through a good heart.

Every new day is the gift of a brand new start.

I’m never apart from a chance to rise to a greater latitude.

All I have to do is maintain a positive attitude.

I’m giving thank because I’m blessed by my savior.

Even in my bad behavior he still showed me favor.

The enemy tried his best to knock me down to size.

I’m grateful for the strength I’m blessed with and still I rise.

May my life be a vessel of which I live in thanks.

My life is the best and oh yes I’m giving thanks.

~~Happy Thanksgiving.
