Thankful

I really love this song. Its from Josh Groban's "Noel" CD. Christmas is a time of giving from our hearts. My sister -in- law & her husband sent us a card that really touched me.

It said " Let's give less stuff and share more love, Lets be the peace that we have been dreaming of."

Those words reminded me of the beautiful lyrics to this song that says "its up to us to be the change!" :)

Although we can't change people & our circumstances (only God has that ability!) However; we DO have the ability to change the way that we react to people/circumstances.:)

Besides, it is so very true... it isnt "what" we have, but "whom" we have in our lives. So much to be thankful for :)


Thankful ------Josh Groban

Some days, we forget to look around us
Some days, we can't see the joy that surrounds us
So caught up inside ourselves
We take when we should give
So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us, to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for

Look beyond ourselves
There's so much sorrow
It's way to late to say, I'll cry tomorrow
Each of us must find our truth
It's so long overdue
So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And everyday, we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us, to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for

And even with our differences
There is a place were all connected
Each of us can find each other's light
So for tonight, we pray for
What we know can be
And on this day, we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though this world can still do so much more
There's so much to be thankful for
