Be thankful for all our blessings, for the times we survived the test of the day, the moments that we had to hope to be okay.
Life can give us moments that make us feel down, we can feel like we can’t carry on, we can be on a road that has no way out, like we are in a room that has no lights.
Thankful to God, for all our blessings, for finding our way, for learning our lessons.
Sometimes we feel lost, we lack mentors, we lack ways to improve our life, we suffer, we cry, we pray for better days.
Thankful to God, for all our blessings, for finding our way, for learning our lessons.
Be thankful to God, for giving us ways to find our way home to heaven someday, for love, for time, for all our positive thoughts and ways, for life can change with just a thought.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
We have so much to give thanks for
every day, God's blessings are great
if we just stop and try to count them
nothing's too hard to put on our plate
Things we receive may be small
but thanks should be given for them
for all things come from our creator
whether big or small, God sends gems
God is so great to His people
abundant giving is the Lord of all
so we must give Him all our praise
His blessings make us all ten feet tall
The greatest blessing is our salvation
thank Jesus always for His great love
this took Him all the way to Calvary
paid the price for our redemption from above
Filling our hearts with thankfulness
having God's assurance that we are His own
so give all the glory He deserves
send all praise to His eternal throne
I greet each day with hopeful wonder

They are so simple little things
the very basics that make life real
just stop a moment and ponder
so be thankful next time you kneel
The hearing ear is not for everyone
some are born deaf, so can't hear
never take your hearing for granted
especially when yours is very clear
The seeing eye can be near and far
Various deficiencies affect each one
remember with thankfulness what you see
it's a gift to look at all you've done
But stop now and think of God
for it's the Lord alone who made both
this all-seeing and all-hearing creator
touched us there for our growth
Now consider those who are not so blessed
God's sovereign hand has evaded them
why? you ask, well, no one knows
only God knows, for He decides your stem
Remember every day all that's yours
so much to be ever thankful
whatever our loss, we've got gain
all our profit is our bright jewel
(The hearing ear and the seeing eye,
The Lord has made them both.)
Proverbs 20: 12 (ESV)
Thank you for loving me through my worst
I know it hurts
Thank you for caring thank you for sharing
Thank you for listening
Thank you for not turning your back on me
Thank you for not leaving and thank you for not stopping in believing in me
Thank you for taking risk
Thank you for giving me the benefit of the doubt and not leaving when you truly wanted out
Thank you for not giving up on me even when I gave solid reasoning to do so. I cherish everyone who still rocking with me through the times of tears, fears, frustrations, and hesitations !
She gave from the garden tended with care
He gave his time was little to spare
They gave thanks for all they could share
Thankful

I am thankful for the many gifts this life brings—
For happiness and love as we welcome a new year,
For a life lived earnestly, with all its joys and trials,
And for the good people who have blessed my days.
I am thankful for each day lived to its fullness,
For the sky above and the vastness of the earth,
For the beauty in each flower, petal, and leaf,
And for the hope that humankind may find relief.
With the new year approaching, I am grateful.
I look to our country—free, abundant, resilient.
Yet this year feels different, shadowed by uncertainty;
Still, I am grateful for any path that leads to peace.
Most of all, I am thankful for those I love,
And for the mighty spirit watching over us.
May you find all that your heart holds dear,
And may gratitude guide you through the coming year.
Nowhere I'd rather be than with you

Thank you, Mom for reading me all those books, for letting me grow a memory of your voice.
Thank you, Mom for never quitting for getting back up when life seemed dull, for always putting the sunny side in my thoughts for letting me know tomorrow will be another day teaching me hope.
Thank you, Mom for all the meals for all the chores you did for me, the times that you wanted to leave but you stayed.
Thanking all the mothers for all their work, even the ones that are mothers to children they never had.

Freedom is not free, it is worked for and given to those that ask.
Ask yourself if you need freedom, freedom to choose, to love, freedom to be you.
Freedom is always changing, some control us with the lack of choices, lack of knowledge.
Choices to be born, choices to eat healthy, choices to learn the things we need to survive.
Freedom is valued, freedom to speak, to learn, to love, to move through our life.
Many have died trying to get freedom, we should remember all those in history that have made it possible for us to have freedom.
We should lift prayers for those unable to get freedom, and pray for freedom for all.
We should also remember that God gave us all we need, and freedom can be achieved, so never give up your freedom.
We remember all of America’s history in our 250th anniversary celebration and all that work for freedom, past, current, and future.
Never give up freedom, freedom to be born, to love, to learn, to grow, to forgive, and many more freedoms we enjoy.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
Thankful for all the fun ways, to learn, to grow, to make my days.
Days filled with joy and awe, making me smile with happy thoughts.
Thoughts can make new thoughts and build into a plan, a plan to make something that can make our life better.
Thankful for all the stuff that helps us grow and build and become better as the years go on.
Thankful is the way we think, the way we grow and work together as one.
Thankful for all our lessons, and the more we learn with each growing second.
Be mindful of the ones, that are still learning to grow, to become better and learn to be kind and loving as we grow.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.

We pray for a clear path forward that make all our moments be bright with light and joy.
We pray for our family and friends and others, that need our prayers.
We pray to live in peace and love and happiness.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
My Valentine, My love, my heart, my only one, as morning breaks, and the sun yawns, my heart opens with you in mind.
Thank you God for guiding us near, making our moments feel like we are one and near.
Your kisses on my lips, make me feel like the silk wrapped around us as we sleep.
As you touch my skin, I feel the warmth of your love, like the fires within.
Like the love we share, each touch is like the sweet air we breathe.
Like the flower opening for the sun, my body opens for my love to be one.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
Grateful, as freely endowed
jubilantly sharing and giving
like never experiencing dearth
since God supplies…
Thankful for sweet serenity
delightfully exuberant
creating mirth-ripples that linger
since the Lord blesses…
Gratitude shines against gloom
withstanding hypocrisy’s stain
while walking in the light
since the Saviour helps…
Thanksgiving* prevails as miracles pervade
vibrantly radiating glowing hope
midst triumphant faith
since the Creator prospers.
*1Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
