The Thankfulness Song – on Mother’s Day
On this Mother’s Day, I’d like to share the lyrics of this children song with you:
The Thankfulness Song (featured on the Veggie Tales)
I thank God for this day,
For the sun in the sky,
For my mom and my dad,
For my piece of apple pie!
For our home on the ground,
For His love that’s all around,
That’s why I say thanks every day!
Because a thankful heart is a happy heart!
I’m glad for what I have,
Thats an easy way to start!
For the love that He shares,
‘Cause He listens to my prayers,
That’s why I say thanks every day!
…
This guy sang the song nicely, I thought =)

How wonderful it is when thankfulness for life’s blessings (big and small) can naturally spring out from our heart and from our children’s hearts ALL THE TIME.
To be thankful for Mom and Dad.
To be thankful for our home and family.
To be thankful for our health and for our friends.
And most importantly, to be thankful for our God who’s so patient towards us, although we often forget to be thankful and faithful to Him.
If only we could ALWAYS remember to be thankful for life’s many blessings.
The reality however is, we SO need a constant reminder to be thankful, to be grateful.
We SO easily take our blessings for granted.
We SO easily forget to appreciate what we’ve always had.
…
The children song above has very simple lyrics, simple enough to be memorised and sung by little ones. Simple enough for us adults to remember too.
On this Mother’s Day, let’s be thankful, not just for the mommies and for their love and sacrifice all these years, but also for life’s blessings we receive every single day.
God is good. All the time.
Let’s be thankful.
Happy Mother’s Day! And may you all have a wonderful week ahead too!
