"I Still Choose" is a song about gratefulness.
Being thankful in the good times of life is pretty easy but choosing to be grateful when life is hard requires a great amount of intentionality.
Have you ever had a tough day but took just a few moments to be grateful for the beauty around you? How did it make you feel? Most likely, it didn’t solve your problems but it probably brought some peace to your heart and calm to your mind.
In your relationships with your spouse, as a parent, with your co-workers and in daily life sometimes all it takes is a moment to pause and reflect on all there is to be grateful for in each situation.
May you choose gratefulness in all of the joy and even in your pain today.

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
The kids fight, I'm angry, they're crying in their rooms
The sink's full, there's no money, and I don't know what to
Chorus:
But I still choose our messes
All these aches and pains
I still choose this life we've built
Over and over again
And when I look around me
I'm thankful everyday
Verse 2:
We win some, and we lose some
And we get back up again
Every new day has it's own pain
And we wait for Mercy's kiss
Chorus 2:
But I still choose our messes
All these aches and pains
I still choose this life we've built
Over and over again
And when I look around me
I'm thankful everyday
Chorus 3:
I still choose our messes
All these aches and pains
I still choose this life we've built
Over and over again
When I look back
It helps me to reframe the pain
I still choose this life we've built
Over and over again
And when I look around me
When I look around me
And when I look around me
I'm thankful everyday
