We have this hope of Christ’s return
He’s coming soon to take us home
Yet now, how shall we live?
Repent and be holy
as God is holy
But how can we cope
while evil runs rampant?
I’ll experience the blessings
connected to Christ
only He can give me
every day
Experience the joy
enveloping my soul
Christ hears my song
as I sing of Him
You are my God
my Savior, my companion
You lead me on
the path to salvation
You embrace my heart
with loving kindness and mercy
You delight my soul
as I sing of You daily
Those who gather around me hear
a song of praise
a song of thanksgiving
for You have answered
my deepest prayer
Don’t forget to purchase my Christian novel, “The Casting of Crowns,” on Amazon or any online bookseller. May God richly bless you! Betsy O. Borchardt
THANKING GOD ALONG THE WAY

Comments (2) We call on God with thanksgiving in our hearts
For He has loved us throughout our lives
Even when we’ve rebelled against Him
He’s provided
Making the rain fall
Giving a harvest
Providing abundant life
In times of drought and catastrophic flames
Flood, wind, and destruction
He calls us to Himself
To acknowledge Him as the Source of all
Sustainer of life
Our Creator
God admonishes our sinfulness
Calling us to repentance
For we know not the hour of our death
Our God desires us
To have eternal life with Him
He would bond with us
If we would give our allegiance to Him
Vow obedience
To all Ten Commandments
As they were given by Him on Mt. Sinai
As a sign of our love for Him
In the act of obedience
We thank Him for the rich life
He has endowed us with
GIVING TIME TO OUR GOD

Leave a comment Upon arising
Before the hustle and bustle
Demands our attention
As first light shines
Upon delicate branches
After the morning star disappears
Spring flowers reach East
For light given by God
The Bible awaits us
And on our lips
Words of thanksgiving
To the Lord
Gently pierce morning silence
As we meditate on
Our Morning Star, Jesus
Our Savior and Friend
Who speaks to us
Through the Bible, His Word
Casting our fears aside
And in making this connection
Try giving God prayers of thanksgiving
As each day unfolds
With a spiritual sparkle
