REFLECTION

Troubles rarely call a break,

Even for holidays’ sake…

It’s not right or wrong

To admit you;re not strong,

Having to pull up a stake.

–

Thankful for what’s here,

Knowing that God is near…

Those all alone

May choose a good Home,

If by Messiah they steer.

–

Thankful for trouble and gloom

More is there than assumed…

Those in Christ

Learn sacrifice

As more of their heart makes room!

–

Thanksgiving for a new day,

Another chance to walk His Way…

Opportunity

For maturity

By every dark part of the day!

–

Praise in reflection

Life’s imperfection…

Yet we live

The adventure to drive,

Until death’s intervention!

–

Be thankful one day at a time,

For your life, harsh or sublime…

God in heaven

To us life has given,

You and whomever is thine!
