THIS NEW YEAR TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED

In this New Year
When you get up every morning
And you’re tempted to dwell on your problems
How you don’t want to go to work
And how life’s not been fair to you
 
Why don’t you turn around?
Instead, thank God that you can scratch your itch
Why don’t you thank God
That you have no problem breathing?
This new year take nothing for granted
 
Why don’t you look out the window
And appreciate the simple things
Like the sun coming up the birds singing
And the flowers blooming
Take nothing for granted in the New Year
 
There’s nothing ordinary
About getting up and going to work
About being able to see 

Have friends and family
Those are gifts from God
