WE ARE BOUND TO GIVE THANKS
Human hearts are not naturally thankful;
We have many things, but we are not grateful.
We almost think that we are deserving;
Though, only by grace, do we have blessings!
We have to teach our children to say, “Thank you;”
If they are well taught, this trait, they will not rue!
We must learn how to feel, “bound to give thanks;”
This giving of thanks must not be mere pretence.
How wonderful to have a heart that is grateful;
It will enable us to have a life that is joyful.
Our blessings would be more appreciated;
Nothing would ever be taken for granted!
It is possible to cultivate such a heart;
The Lord’s grace He will readily impart.
A heart that gives thanks always is so rare today;
May there be grace and growth along the way!
