Am I grateful

Sometimes we forget to look at what God has done for us
The world moves too fast to stand still for very long
Our trials that bring us pain and heartbreak, we try to forget
I don’t always take the time to reflect

I am grateful for the things my God has shown me
Am I grateful for the places my faith journey has taken me
I am trying to be more thankful for the lessons that I’ve learned
Am I too preoccupied with the successes of the people around me

Grateful for the promises I can hold onto when I’ve got nothing else
Grateful for the sacrifice that paid my debt in full on the cross
Grateful for the journey that God is leading me on because it’s mine
Grateful for the people in my life that have spoke to me when my life was messy

I am thankful and eternally in awe of what happened on top of the mountain
I am thankful for the promises of life ahead
I am thankful for the people who have been with me in my journey
The valleys that seem so steep that I can’t see how I am going to get to the top
