THANKFUL HEART <\/p>\n

Sometimes we don’t even realize,
\nHow truly blessed we each are,
\nSo many in this world struggle,
\nYes, as we watch them from afar.<\/p>\n

Problems just tumble about them,
\nThey never really seem to cease,
\nBut because we obey Your Will,
\nYou have given us Your peace.<\/p>\n

We are free to serve You daily,
\nAs we sow Your precious seed,
\nWe worry not for our provisions,
\nBecause You supply our need.<\/p>\n

Thus how can we not be thankful,
\nWhen you treat us with such love,
\nSo I thank you Heavenly Father,
\nFor your blessings from above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
