    I love the song "Gratitude". Here are the words lyrics as ellas the music in the video link ---->click here--->(video I made). I hope it will bless you. I foud that sometimes God's answer in our struggle is that He won't take it away but He will be with us in it and teach us things through it too.:

    Send some rain, would you send some rain

    'Cuz the Earth is dry and needs to drink again

    And the sun is high and we are sinking in the shade

    Would you send a cloud, Thunder long and loud

    Let the sky grow black and send some mercy down

    Surely you can see that we are thirsty and afraid

    Or maybe not,not today, Maybe you'll provide in other ways

    And if that's the case?

    We'll give thanks to you with gratitude

    For lessons learned in how to thirst for you

    How to bless the very sun that warms our face

    If you never send us rain

    Daily bread, give us daily bread, bless our bodies

    Keep our children fed, fill our cups

    then fill them up again, tonight

    O Wrap us up and warm us through

    Tucked away beneath our sturdy roofs

    Let us slumber safe from dangers few this time

    Or maybe not,not today, Maybe you'll provide in other ways

    And if that's the case?

    We'll give thanksto you with gratitude

    For lessons learned in how to hunger after for you

    Let a starry sky offer a better view if no roof is overhead

    And if we never taste that bread

    O the differences that often are between everything we want

    and what we really need

    So grant us peace, Jesus grant us peace

    Move our hearts to hear a single beat

    Between alibis and enemies tonight

    or maybe not? Not today,

    peace might be abother world away

    and if that's the case?

    We'll give thanks to you with gratitude

    for lessons learned in how to trust in you

    That we are blessed beyond what we could ever dream

    in abundance or in need

    and if you never grant us peace,

    but Jesus, would you please?

    I am grateful today that we can celebrate 5 years post-transplant for my DH and he is still alive. 

    I am grateful for the donor family who was generous to donate organs from their son, who was our son's age. 

    I am grateful for the ability to have dinner with my daughter and son-in-law tonight who just moved to Wyoming but came down to take up more boxes.
