As we enter
into the Thanksgiving season, let’s take the time to contemplate what we have
to be thankful for and to whom we give thanks.
Often we, as people, tend to focus on problems and what is wrong, rather
than what is right. We know that we
have been blessed and given much but we, not unlike the Children of Israel tend
to see the problems: We have no food;
there is no water; there are giants rather than the one who is taking care of
us. Anyone reading this has at least a
few things that they can be thankful for if we choose to see them. For the next thirty days, I will be posting
things for which I believe each one of us can be thankful. I hope that you will join me in coming with a
thankful heart to God.
I am
thankful for God,
My shield,
My creator,
My defender
The one who is greater
And loves
each of us
With undying
love.
He wakes us
each morning
Causes us to
sleep in peace.
He holds our
hand
And hides us
under his wings.
The worlds
were made
At his
command.
We have life
because of Him.
