A to Z Thanksgiving


A to Z Thanksgiving

Give thanks in everything, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (Holman Christian Standard Bible – Thanks to Dr. Roger Willmore)

I came across this little write-up on Thanksgiving and thought it would be good to share as we wind down this Thanksgiving weekend:

Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame.
Even when times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know.
Imagine life without His love
Joy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Love imparts to thee.
Move out of Camp Complaining
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone.
Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To thank is a command.
Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky
We’ll run the race with gratitude
Xalting God most high.
Yes, there’ll be good times and yes some will be bad, but …
Zion waits in glory, where none are never sad!

Good reminder for you and me today. Happy Thanksgiving Weekend! – Bill Welte is President and CEO of America’s Keswick

Dig This Quote: It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and to humbly implore His protection and favor. – George Washington

Determined Digging: Level 1: John 14:6; Level 2: Matthew 5:10-16

Determined Praying: Prayer should be definite. What a lot of praying there is that prays for everything in general and nothing particular! C. H. Spurgeon
