I woke up this morning and knew that today
The sun would be shining and the clouds won’t be grey
As I stepped outside, heavy rain fell upon my head
My car would not start, so I walked in the rain to church instead

I forgot my bible; I failed to perform my church duties at best.
So I dropped my head in disgust and asked the Lord for one request
Lord, why won’t things go my way?
He gently replied. “Dear child it is because you didn’t thank me yesterday

I woke you up and enabled you see the sun again
I gave you shelter, protected your family, and even let you make a new friend
I blessed you far greater than I ever had before
But you were too busy to thank me once more

You didn’t feel sick because I maintained your health
You had money in your pocket because I maintained your wealth
You had shoes on your feet and clothes to wear, too
You had plenty of food to eat, and what did you do?

You ignored me and went about your task
But when you wanted something you never hesitated to ask
I was there when you needed me, and that wasn’t too long ago
But when things started going your way, it was me you did not know

As if that weren’t enough, I provided your favourite luxuries
This was something I didn’t have to do, they weren’t even necessities
And when it was time to get on your knees and show gratitude,
You decided that after such a fulfilling day, you weren’t in the mood.

So I decided to give you just a little test
To show you how it would feel to stop being blessed.”
I began to realize what the Lord was saying
And when I got home, I fell to my knees and started praying.

He said, “My child, you have learned and you know I do forgive
But remember to remember this day as long as you shall live
I love filling your life with joy, and your pain I’ll alleviate it
But just a simple thank you would show how much you appreciate it.”

Pass (your choice) this on to everyone you pray the Lord will bless
There are no catches or rules just this simple test
How many people to send it to is all in your hands
Just another “Thank God it’s Sunday” from God through Man.

Father, mother, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, child who ever you are, have you Thanked God Its Sunday (TGIS), if you’ve not, try before the day is over, if you want to count your many blessings and see what the Lord has done.
