What AM I Thankful For Testimonial
What AM I Thankful For testimonial
what am I thankful for do you really want to know
some the average person may think it's insane
of my belief and faith system
I'm a man of color (actually all shades)
of Cameroon, Creek Indian, European, African
born near the era, of governmental, religious, human unrightiusness
DISCRIMINATION
HATRED
All those negative things that have gone on in my life
those trials and tests have just made me
stronger for the battle all ready been won
for this I am thankful
What am I thankful, for God creating me, making me a boy
What am I thankful, for my genuine God given joy
What am I thankful, for life and love abundantly around me
I am thankful for two parents
Faithful to each other and were married until dead do us part
I am thankful for my brother even tho he's blind and retarded
I have to whole brothers both of whom with me also
Are all just exactly nine months apart
Oh, and I am thankful for that
God has given me life
What am I thankful, for God creating me, making me a whole
What am I thankful, for my genuine God given joy
What am I thankful, for life and love abundantly around me
I am thankful good teen age life didn't do drugs or get inprisoned
Met my soon to be wife in my late adolescent life
I am thankful I married on my 21 birthday
I am thankful she said yes, we were married for 40 years
She died 2016 went back home to be with God
You may find it odd, that I'm still thankful
I don't know what tomorrow holds
But I'm so thankful God holds tomorrow
There's no sorrow
I'm thankful for my bone and marrow
I'm thankful for my childhood, I was average behavior fair not good
Bet you don't no of any adult being terminated from 2 different jobs
In the same year
Terminated because THEY need to save money, yes cut backs
Letting your employees go just so you can make more
What am I thankful, for God creating me, making me a whole
What am I thankful, for my genuine God given joy
What am I thankful, for life and love abundantly around me
I am thankful for the rain
I am thankful for the pain

and more than any thing I am HIS
I am thankful for 3 children
Thankful for a grand daughter
And soon in March gonna have grandson, LeiNah's new baby brother
And I'm thankful for that
I am thankful for my job termination
For I'm determinated
I am thankful and grateful
I am thankful for who I am
I am thankful God made me a man, I am thankful
It's okay those sins I did, God has already forgiven them
I'm not ashamed to say His name the name of Jesus Christ
Did I say I'm thankful even for those who may even hate me
Why? because they don't have no heaven or hell to put me in
I am a Child of the King, just a human being
And I'm so thankful
I am thankful for the rain
I am thankful for the pain
and i must confess I'm also thankful for my shame
I am thank my grandma and mom named me James
And I'm so thankful, I'm thankful for EVERYTHING
Now temporary unofficially retired (NO I AM NOT RETIRED)
I've just been UN-hired
I've always been inspired
Now you know some of my scoop
News to you not new to me, I'm also thankful for
