Whether by my own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same.

- There's so much to be thankful for!




THANKSGIVING 2008
_______________

.

.
(Lyrics Below)


Some days we forget
To look around us



Some days 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!

Elder David A. Bednar

Let me recommend that periodically you and I offer a prayer in which we only give thanks and express gratitude. Ask for nothing; simply let our souls rejoice and strive to communicate appreciation with all the energy of our hearts.

(Pray Always, Ensign, November 2008, p. 43)
