Thanksgiving

Ben singing this song in my head a lot lately, for a lot of reasons, but I think it fits today perfectly

Blessings - Tracy Lawrence

Lately I've been having more nights that I can't sleep
Storms of life keep blowing in
sometimes it gets so heavy
It drives me to my knees and it's coming down again
Then a voice inside reminds me of the roof over my head
And my wife and kids are tucked away warmly in their beds


Up in heaven sometimes I wonder if God sits there and listens
To all his children thinking it'd be nice if we'd forget our troubles as easy as our blessings


Suddenly I don't feel like counting what I need
So I start counting what I have
when times are at their toughest
My wife still stands by me
and my children make me laugh
Then I crawl back in bed and start to think as I lay there
Could it be that he's already heard and answered all my prayers


Up in heaven sometimes I wonder if God sits there and listens
To all his children thinking it'd be nice if we'd forget our troubles as easy as our blessings


It'd be nice if we'd forget our troubles as easy as our blessings


As easy as our blessings


Happy thanks-for-giving everyone
