I’m thankful for my yesterdaysI’m thankful for todayI’m thankful for the momentsThat take my breath away  I’m thankful for the little thingsThat don’t seem all that specialI’m thankful that I’m breathingI’m thankful for every blessing I’m thankful for the hard thingsThat life has put me throughFor in those times I learned a lotLike how to depend on You The times we are the lowestAre sometimes for our goodFor in the times that seem so badWe learn things that we should Like there is a God in heavenAnd he listens when we prayAnd he will give us wisdomTo get through each...
