Gratitude

i was thinking how Haitians are so grateful for what they have and how they don't loose faith because they live in poverty. and all of a sudden this song came on in the car. (it was one of those freaky but exciting God moments).

Send some rain, would You send some rain?

'Cause the earth is dry and needs to drink again

And the sun is high and we are sinking in the shade

Would You send a cloud, thunder long and loud?

Let the sky grow black and send some mercy down

Surely You can see that we are thirsty and afraid

But maybe not, not today

Maybe You'll provide in other ways

And if that's the case . . .

We'll give thanks to You

With gratitude

For lessons learned in how to thirst for You

How to bless the very sun that warms our face

If You never send us rain
Daily bread, give us daily bread

Bless our bodies, keep our children fed

Fill our cups, then fill them up again tonight

Wrap us up and warm us through

Tucked away beneath our sturdy roofs

Let us slumber safe from danger's view this time

Or maybe not, not today

Maybe You'll provide in other ways

And if that's the case . . .

We'll give thanks to You

With gratitude...

i know i said i wasn't going to make another video for a while but i was thinking about making this video before i even knew how to.

again, i have absolutely no patients to fix the blurry pictures without throwing the laptop out the window!!
