Thankful, Grateful, Blessed Are We
Thanksgiving is not usually a holiday that gets much attention,Halloween fun has passed, and we are looking forward to Christmas Vacation!
Families get together for Thanksgiving- yes, they do,
For turkey and dressing, and football too,
But are we filled with joy for the bounty we have?
Are we truly thankful? Do our hearts need a healing salve?
Thanksgiving holiday? …4-Day weekend, sublime,
How do we intend to spend this precious time?
We need to be thankful to the One above,
We should be grateful for His promises and eternal love,
His blessings are rich, and his mercy is never ending,
His sacrifice was personal from the beginning,
He is the King of Glory; His grace is all sufficient,
Not only is He omnipresent, but He is omnipotent,
A holiday of Thanks is well worth a celebration,
Because of the God who reigns, we give exaltation,
Thankful, grateful, blessed are we,
Lord, we live to worship thee!
