Give Thanks

Give Thanks                     

          by: Angela Hiskett

I hear so much grumbling,

          so much jealousy, and derogatory mumbling.

                     Haven’t you received blessings from God?

                             Recognize your gifts!

In the trees standing tall above,

God shows his love.

With the tears on your face,

God shows his grace.

In the flowers gentle scent,

God shows his time spent.

With the nudging of the Spirit,

He urges us to hear it.

In the eagle’s spreading wings,

God shows he is in everything.

With a baby’s bubbling gurgle and bright smile,

God shows us he is willing to go the extra mile.

Each and every person in the land,

God wants to hold us in his hand.

                            But most of all;

God gave his only son,

Jesus stepped forward to be the one,

to take upon his shoulders all of your sin,

so that you still have a chance to win.

Recognize all that God has done for you,

and give him thanks in all you do!
