Poetry: Why I Give Thanks

I give thanksNot for trouble and tragedy,But for a SaviorWho walks that path with me,Holds my hand, andOffers comfort, strength and peace.I give thanksNot for a world in turmoil,But for a living, caring GodWho’s got me in His hands,Provides a reason to hold on,Go on and even rejoice.I choose to give thanks,Knowing when everything falls apart in my life,I will turn and find,Wholeness, help and hope,In the arms of my loving Lord—Jesus Christ.And that is why I give thanks.By Carolyn R ScheidiesRead more like this in Journey of Faith
