Grateful

There is a song I come across on Pandora 'Mary Mary' station...unsure of who it is by, but the song is called Grateful. When I first heard this song, it did something to my heart...almost like unlocked it. Releasing thanksgiving and joy from my heart. The song is quite slow and the choir purposely slowly speak the lyrics as to ensure we are comprehending and embedding the thoughts in our own minds. My favorite line is the 'I could go on and on...about your words, because I'm grateful grateful grateful just to praise you Lord, flowing from my heart, are these issues my heart...is Gratefulness."

This song helps me to focus on the good in my life. Sometimes when it seems nothing is working right, everything is falling apart and I'm have no idea how to get out of this wilderness...I listen to this slow ever reminding song about being grateful. The choir at one point repeats grateful, so many times that not only do you begin singing it almost hypnotizing trance but also just long enough...to truly stop and think about what all you have to be grateful for. And just being grateful enough to allow those things to flow from your heart to God's ears....joyful.

Below I have attached the video...for anyone who needs a reminder...

Toodles.
