Let's Also Play The Glad Game.



Pollyanna played the glad game, let's try it too,
Think of each day to say to God, Thankyou;
I'm sure it must be easy, if a child can play,
Let's just take it easy, by starting for the first day.

I'm thankful for Sunday, we can praise the Lord,
And it makes me be glad, we can study the Word;
Another thing it's a rest day, we can take it easy,
So then you're not working in dust, and youre not sneezy.

Monday is the first day, the kids off to school,
So mums can get a time to clean, cleanliness Gods rule;
You can be thankful, once it's cleaned, you can sit awhile,
Take in the Word of God, then find recipes from the file.

Tues used to be market day, and washing day too,
Time to be thankful, for the food, for the family and you;
And what is something to be happy with washing day,
That you can get them clean of germs, is what I say.

Wed is halfway there till the weekend is here,
It's weekday bible study, you can feel God near;
For us it was liver and onions, which I can't take,
But I can be happy about it, no more for my intake.

Thursday was take away night, a night no need to cook,
My mum said she was thankful, won't use the cooking book;
Thursday for school was swimming time to learn each week,
A day I could be happy, no school books do I need to seek.

Friday we could be thankful, last day to go to school for me,
And last day for school lunch to get, so mum was so happy;
We could stay up later, invite our special friends around,
And if we were very good, we could go to the playground.

Saturday was day off, to sleep in late, and brekky wait,
So that was time to be happy, and you can go see a mate;
In the afternoon, we'd travel to the country or the sea,
So we were thankful, to go to a cafe for afternoon tea.

Yes! Playing happy games, is a great thing to do,
And it makes God happy, cause we are pleasing Him too;
So what is something you can do or say to the Lord,
Why not find a verse of thanks, just look up the Holy Word.
