Because YOU Have Been Given Much - Dave Woodward - CFR #390

In this episode, on Thanksgiving, Dave discusses the importance of being grateful and references hymn Because I Have Been Given Much by Grace Noll Crowell:

Because I Have Been Given MuchBecause I have been given much,I too must give;Because of thy great bounty Lord,Each day I live;I shall divide my gifts from theeWith every brother that I seeWho has the need of help from me.

Because I have been sheltered, fedBy thy good care;I cannot see another’s lack and I not share;My glowing fire, my loaf of bread,My roof's safe shelter overheadThat he too may be comforted.

Because I have been blessed bythy great love dear Lord;I’ll share thy love againAccording to thy word;I shall give love to those in need,I’ll show that love by word and deed;Thus shall my thanks be thanks in deed.

Remember how important it is to take time to give gratitude for the things you have, especially in times of hardship.  Over time you will see that you become grateful for the struggles because you will realize it has a purpose.
