Lord, Have I Told You ~
Lord, have I told You lately,
how much I love You . . .
have I expressed my thanks
for all for me You do?
Have I uttered my praise,
my thoughts of gratitude
have I demonstrated to You
a grateful attitude?
Have I thanked You,
for the wonders of Your grace
have I said I’m so delighted
to be able to seek your face?
Have I verbalized,
my wholehearted affection
have I been for You
an image of Your reflection?
Lord, have I told You lately,
how much You mean to me . . .
have I conveyed how with You
I can’t hardly wait to be!
~~~~~~~~
O Lord, open thou my lips;
and my mouth shall shew
forth thy praise.

Thankful Everyday ~
We don’t need a special day,
to show how we’re thankful
for every day to God . . .
we need to be grateful.
We can come together,
any time of the year
and share the real cause
for our heart’s good cheer.
We can give our thanks,
no matter the season
a special holiday
needn’t be the only reason.
We can enter into,
the gates of thanksgiving
anytime, anywhere
without a single misgiving.
For, God doesn’t care,
when or how we show . . .
our thankfulness to Him
He just wants to know!
~~~~~
“Enter into his gates
with thanksgiving,
and into his courts
with praise:
be thankful unto him,
and bless his name.”

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.

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.”

Rejoice Forever More ~
If we were to give,
thanks for everything
we would have more joy
no matter what life brings.
If we were to pray,
without ever stopping
we’d have God peace
in our heart’s throbbing.
If we were to be,
always prayerful
we’d remain in Jesus
always faithful.
If we were to seek,
God’s will each day
we’d be on our knees
whenever we pray.
If we are thankful,
to God when we implore
then we will rejoice . . .
with Him forever more!
~~~~~~
Rejoice evermore.
Pray without ceasing.
In every thing give thanks:
for this is the will of God
in Christ Jesus
concerning you.

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.”

The Reason for My Hope
I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth's foundation.I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it's God's image
He puts into all of us.I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it's still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.I believe that man's heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it's full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.I believe in Jesus,
God's only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it's the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.I believe in God's love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God's judgement all will face.I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it's where
the unsaved will dwell.I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they'd just see!~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter 3:15
King James Version"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope
that is in you with meekness and fear:"Copyright 2014

I will not be shaken,
nothing can rattle me
not even my own death
will take me, Lord from Thee.I will not tremble,
I have nothing to fear
even if I'm all alone
God is always near.I will not waiver,
on my Rock, I will stand
if I was to stumble
in His grace I will land.I will not be moved,
nothing can take away
the love I have for Jesus
from His ways I'll not stray.I will not be shaken,
nothing will take from me
the peace, faith and hope
I have dear Lord, in Thee!~~~~~~~

"Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.
"He only is my rock and my salvation;
he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."King James Version
