Thanks & Giving

 

We thank those who’ve helped us

And, hopefully, give;

To be a cheerful giver

Is a good way to live.

So, though there’s a holiday

To help us remember,

That rolls around

Each year in November,

We shouldn’t wait ‘til then

To be thankful and giving.

It should be a part

Of our everyday living.

There is always so much

To be thankful about.

Gratefulness is a practice

We can’t thrive without.

And it’s God who gives us

Every good thing,

In every season,

Not just Thanksgiving.

He deserves all our thanks

Each day that we live,

And His kindness

Should make us want to give.

Meditate on all He’s done

If you need a reason,

But let “thanks” and “giving”

Be more than just a season.
