LORD, when I am on my knees,
When I am looking up,
Remind me
To also look around,
And see, really see
What is piled up in stacks all around me.
I don't want to be
Ungrateful, unsatisfied or bitter...
But sometimes it's hard to even feel
Anything at all or the feelings are too much.
What is the first to fall?
A gratitude for YOU.
It's during those times
That I really need YOU to remind me
To have thoughts of
Gratitude.
And I ask that YOU be the ONE
To fill me up,
Overflowing, to the brim and spilling everywhere...
Not with feelings but with THOUGHTS of gratitude.
For all you have done
Your presence over me.
Wow, Gloria. My blog post today was on gratitude too! :) Always good to be reminded that we look to Christ and be grateful for what we do have!
