Thankful (A poem of Thanksgiving)
Thankful to God
For all He has done
Thankful for blessings
And for victories won
Thankful for loved ones
Both far and near
Being perfectly loved
Casts out any fear
Thankful for friends
That give value to life
They give you their ear
and offer godly advise
Thankful for church
A place to grow strong
Great Word and great worship
Where you know you belong
Thankful for children
As we watch them grow
Teach all kinds of lessons
We’d never have known
Thankful for things
That we need day to day
Great food to eat
And a warm place to stay
Thankful for Life
God’s life we’ve received
That gives health, life and wholeness
With each breath we breathe
Most thankful for Jesus
For conquering the grave
For the Word made flesh
So that we could be saved
Thankful for reminders
That all these rewards
Are a small taste of heaven
And are gifts from the Lord
Each one of the phrases in this poem addresses a different area of life, loved ones, friends, church, children, daily needs, the Life of God, for Jesus, and daily reminders of His faithfulness. I am so thankful for my life. In all it’s beautiful imperfections, my life feels so blessed. I hope that today, as you sit around the Thanksgiving table, that you remember God’s faithfulness with a heart filled with gratitude. Encouraging You (to be thankful always!)
