Thankful on Wednesday

I really wanted to post this beautiful song by Josh Groban and a video that someone made to the music. my friend marj helped me figure this out since i was a little challenged with it. it makes you think about all we really have to be thankful for. it is a little long (5 min.) but worth it. at the end is the kids receiving packages from a program called operation christmas child. it is a wonderful program if you have the opportunity to be involved or ask me if you want more info. i am printing the lyrics in case anyone just wants to read them but the song is beautiful.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Thankful lyrics

Somedays we forget
To look around us
Somedays we can't see
The joy that surrounds us
So caught up inside ourselves
We take when we should give.

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be.
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see.
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.

Look beyond ourselves
There's so much sorrow
It's way too late to say
I'll cry tomorrow
Each of us must find our truth
It's so long overdue

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And every day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.

Even with our differences
There is a place we're all connected
Each of us can find each other's light

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though this world needs so much more

There's so much to be thankful for.
