Be Thankful

Be Thankful When things seem so unfair Remember what you have A roof over your head Food on the table Memories made with Family and friends Some days can seem a drag But you’re alive so smile Learn to be yourself Remain honest and trustworthy Your work oh such a grind Suppling pennies to spend Providing for your needs So be thankful You’re in charge of what you do Live for the day Tomorrow’s are always there Make life the best you can Be happy Laugh until you cry Have fun always Stay crazy if you must Just remember Remain thankful Tomorrow may never come

This is so true, count your blessings and find joy in Jesus, don't deny yourself happiness as it always could be worse. The past couple years have proven to be my most challenging and having to endure much, but a love and kindness of other's along with God both served as my lighthouse and reason to keep hope and faith alive. Accepting financial assistance from family and being of disappointment is more then enough on most days. I have faith i will overcome with God's help.
