Thanksgiving Holiday

Do give thanks in all
Whatever God brings
Do praise His Name
For truly, everything.

Are you thankful this year
Recalling God’s kindness
His daily, unfailing love
Despite our flaws, and blindness?

Take time, to smell the roses
Listen to a hurting soul
Hold a hand, speak a kindness
Help restore, a sinner whole.

When confronted by suffering
With reasons unclear
Will we choose to grow better
Or grow bitter, with fears.

So, we likewise must repent
Of rebelling, and sleeping
We should rather, seek God
Not self-serving, but reaping.

So, we lift every hurt
Release all, to Him
Now laid upon Christ
Walk in grace, not sin.

Keep watching and praying
By the LORD, you’re assigned.
Yes, pray until victory
Let His Spirit guide.

So, prepare well for heaven
Through Jesus, the Lord
Spend more time in prayer
And sharing God’s Word.

God allows what He hates
To achieve what He loves
He permits man to sink
That men seek Him above.

Our motives so matter
To take, or to give
Self-serving, or God’s glory
For what do we live?
