It's Up to Me to Be the Change

A song of my faith....is by JOSH GROBAN??

Yes, it is.

This is on his Christmas CD, but it definitely applies to our holiday tomorrow. We often seem to turn our hearts to thank our Heavenly Father for all He gives us once a year. As our beloved Prophet Thomas S. Monson said, "To express gratitude is gracious and honorable, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live with gratitude in our hearts is to touch heaven." My faith is living with gratitude in my heart for the many blessings He gives me each day.

Happy Thanksgiving! Count your blessings, and count them once again. I know I will be. :)

Thankful  by Josh Groban  (I recommend looking this up on YouTube.)

Some days we forget to look around us
Some days we can't see the joy that surrounds us
so caught up inside yourselves
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

Even with our differences
there is a place we're all connected
each of us can find each other's love

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
