112719 God's Other Blessings

God's Other Blessings

When you gather 'round the table …

On this Thanksgiving Day,
as you share a meal with loved ones,

And bow your head to pray...
Thanking God for all His blessings,

For the bounty He bestows,
For His wisdom and His kindness,

And for sharing all He knows...
As you praise His loving guidance

And take stock of all His gifts,
Take time to look beyond wealth …

And allow your thoughts to drift.

Don't overlook your struggles,

Or forget your daily strife,

Don't thank God for just the good times

In this frantic earthly life.
Take note of all the worries that you've

Faced along the way,
Recall your tribulations and your

Stress from day to day...
Remember all the cares and woes

You’ve conquered in the past,
Reflect upon the tears you've shed

And troubles you've amassed.

For all those woes and worries …

Why, they're merely steppingstones,

And troubles …they're just bricks along

The path to Heaven's home...
The tears we've shed are Life's sweet rain;
its flowers spring from strife,
and trials and tribulations are

The mortar in this Life.
The stress and strain upon our souls

Unite to make us strong,
Cares and struggles light the way …

When our road is dark and long.

So thank Him for His bounty,

For our families and our friends,

And for granting us forgiveness …

When we must make amends...
But recall God's other blessings …

For their merits oft untold,
Praise God for loving you enough …

To help you build the road...
For giving you the tools you'll need …

Mortar, bricks and stones,
for the path that leads to Heaven

And the stairway to His home.

- Deborah Simmons

Let Us Give Thanks...

Thanks to God for my Redeemer,

Thanks for all Thou dost provide,

Thanks for times not but a memory,

Thanks for Jesus by my side.

Thanks for pleasant, balmy springtime,

Thanks for colorfully, wonderful fall,

Thanks for tears by now forgotten,

Thanks for peace within my soul.

Thanks for prayers that Thou hast answered,

Thanks for what Thou dost deny,

Thanks for storms that I have weathered,

Thanks for all Thou dost supply

Thanks for pains, and thanks for pleasure,

Thanks for comfort in despair,

Thanks for grace that none can measure,

Thanks for love beyond compare.

Thanks for roses by the wayside,

Thanks for thorns their stems contain,

Thanks for home and thanks for fireside,

Thanks for hope, that sweet refrain.

Thanks for joy and thanks for sorrow,

Thanks for heavenly peace with Thee,

Thanks for hope in the tomorrow,

Thanks through all eternity.

The right of men to their own selves and to their liberties.

It turns what we have into enough,

And more.
It turns denial into acceptance,

It can turn a meal into a feast,

A house into a home,

A stranger into a friend.
Gratitude makes sense of our past,

Brings peace for today,

And creates a vision for tomorrow.
