Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.
On this day of counting blessings, my wish is that all of you experience the closeness of God in unique and meaningful ways.
This journal entry from a past Day of Thanks sums up my sentiments…
Abundance
Western vistas frame our world
Each day dawns with promise…
The sunsets, a spectacular summary
He Leads
As we traverse our unique path,
We are called to stillness and contemplation
Reflecting on His amazing providence
He is Present
Through small daily mercies
In the comfort of a loving embrace
He Desires
For us to be fruitful
As we fully surrender to Him
He Refines
Gently calling us to Him
Softly sifting the wheat from the chaff
He Beckons
To be foremost in our lives
Exquisitely present in both joys and trials
Hoping for our faith and trust
He Watches
As we fulfill His good purpose,
Reaping our harvest in His name.
This is what the Lord says to me: “I will remain quiet and will look on from my dwelling place, like shimmering heat in the sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of the harvest.”
~Isaiah 18:4
