Remembering

When I become upset because...

someone has written or said something that doesn't agree with what I have written or said,

I should remember to be thankful for that means I have

Freedom of Speech.


When I become upset with...

the leaders of our country

I should remember to be thankful my voice can be heard, for I have

The right to Vote.


When I get upset because...

I 'm tired of getting up early everyday

I should be thankful for that means

I still have a job.


When I become upset because...

of the price of gas

I should remember to be thankful for that means

I have a car.


When I become upset because...

of the rising cost of utilities

I should remember to be thankful for that means

I have a home.


When I become upset because...

someone's religious beliefs differ from mine

I should remember to be thankful for that means

I have Freedom of Religion.


Today, as we honor those who have fought and are fighting this very minute for us to keep all that we have, enjoy, and so often take for granted, I will be thankful.

God Bless America !
