ThanksGiving

Sometimes it's hard to see the good in life
It gets hard to give thanks
To smile at a beautiful picture
To simply give thanks

But on this day
This beautiful day
All the pain
Seems to vanish for a moment

I am able to see the good in life
I am able to give thanks for what I have
I am able to see all the things I have been blessed with

On this day I give thanks
To my God for providing for me
For my mother who is more then just my mom
She's my friend

I give thanks for my father
He is strange
And dances to the beat of his own drum
 But I couldn't ask for a better father

I am thankful for my baby sister
Who may be frustrating at times
But who else would keep me on my toes
And make me smile every single day

I give thanks for my home
My town
My friends
And my family

This world may be dark
And some may have very few things to be thankful for
But we always have something to be thankful for
So what are you thankful for this holiday?

This is lovely Sarah. We all have so much in our lives to be thankful for. I loved being able to peek into your world and hear of the blessings in your life. They were beautiful ones.

I try to think of ten thing each day and evening to be thankful for in my life. Gives me hope in my life.

Good write.
It baffles me why it takes a holiday to appreciate what we have, and that we should be thankful every day.

YOu have many wonderful things to be thankful for this year. It can be hard at time to see the beauty and special things in the world but if we take a moment we can find them.

Very true. God has given us so much that we should be thankful everyday, not just Thanksgiving.
