Christmas is once again here
The time of giving and the time of cheer
But most of all it is the time
To be thankful for the blessings this year
I have so much to be thankful for
I know not where to start
Thankful I can see and feel
Thankful for each beat of my heart
For the family and friends
Their love and their care
For the times we’ve spent together
The memories that we share
Thankful for opportunities
The laughter and the tears
Thankful for God’s grace
When alone and in fear
Thankful that I am able to give
That I have plenty on my side
Thankful for the chance
To show love and do right
To learn and to grow
Each and every day
Thankful for the kindness
Received in every way
But most of all I am thankful
That if everything that was given was gone
I would be received at heaven’s door
Because my Saviour was born
Merry Christmas everyone!
