Faith Invincible ~
Faith Invincible,
is a faith strong
it rejoices even when
things go wrong.
It is unbeatable,
nothing tears it down
it rejoices even when . . .
troubles come around.
Faith invincible,
is a faith robust
for it knows in God
to always put its trust.
It is unstoppable,
when satan attacks
it is indestructible
for hope it never lacks.
Faith invincible,
is a faith durable
it rejoices in all things . . .
for it is unmovable!
~~~~~~~~~~
Knowing this, that the trying
of your faith worketh patience.
Rejoice in the Lord always:
and again I say, Rejoice.

~ to GOD be the GLORY ~
One Blessed, Single Plateful ~
On Thanksgiving day this year,
before the turkey starts roasting
my thanks, I will be singing
for the dinner I’ll be hosting.
I will set the dining table,
with the gratitude I feel
before anyone comes
to feast upon the meal.
I will spread the hope,
that I’m feeling inside
before I even serve . . .
the food that God supplied.
I will polish up on all,
the reasons I’m thankful
before I even dish up
one blessed, single plateful.
On Thanksgiving day this year,
before the food I present
I will let everyone know . . .
just why I am so content!

“And having food and raiment
let us be therewith content.”

Beyond Thanksgiving Day ~
Thanksgiving is more,
than food and football
it goes way beyond . . .
turkey on the table.
Thanksgiving isn’t about,
just one meal we share
it goes way further . . .
then a dinner prayer.
Thanksgiving is about,
each day of the year
making sure our praise
God is able to hear.
Thanksgiving isn’t about,
a single day with family
it goes way past . . .
our sated apathy.
Thanksgiving is about,
being thankful for all things
no matter what in this life . . .
to your table that it brings!
~~~~~~~~
“Be careful for nothing;
but in every thing by prayer
and supplication
with thanksgiving
let your requests
be made known unto God.”

Thankful for What ~
It’s easy to be thankful,
when things are going well
when we are trouble-free
no fears on which to dwell.
But, when burdens become,
crushing and all-consuming
it’s hard to show gratitude
when stress is ever-looming.
It’s difficult to say thank you,
in the middle of our strife
it’s not easy to be grateful
for the trials in this life.
How can we be thankful,
in every single thing
rejoicing in the hardships
that living often brings?
It takes a heart of faith,
an unwavering trust
it take a soul that knows
being prayerful is a must!

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
King James Version
“Rejoice evermore.
Pray without ceasing.
In every thing give thanks:
for this is the will of God
in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
