I wanted to play outside then it started to rain
But it’s okay
It ruined my plans and I wanted to complain
But it’s okay
I left the house and forgot my phone
But it’s okay
I got wet from the rain as I got home
But it’s okay
I was working on my project then lost power
But it’s okay
I was taking a bath then lost water from the shower
But it’s okay
I wanted to go to my favorite restaurant then it was full
But it’s okay
My shoe got stuck in the mud so I had to give it a pull
But it’s okay
I got spaghetti sauce all over my shirt
But it’s okay
I was playing for my team then lost all their support
But it’s okay
A lot of times I complain about small things
When instead I should be thanking God
And all the joy, peace, hope and love, to my life He brings
Don’t you think it’s kind of odd?
There are people experiencing grief, sorrow and pain
To the point that their lives are at stake
Then I cry and complain because of a little rain?
Am I really thankful or am I just fake?
There are people no matter what, they have a joy in them
Because they know that their security is in Jesus
They can withstand anything, pain, loss, grief, they are a true gem
Can we still say the same for us?
We are forgiven and saved
Blessed, loved, and cherished
Let us not complain
But give thanks in the storm and through the pain
