Coming Together

From the words of American pastor and Christian author, Charles Swindoll:  “Thanksgiving is a time of quiet reflection . . . an annual reminder that God has, again, been ever so faithful.  The solid and simple things of life are brought into clear focus.”

National tradition

Year’s intentional pause

Coming together as one

With purposeful cause

 

Nation’s heart now gathers

Thanksgiving welcomes all

Putting aside differences

Mercy’s blessed call

 

Family’s homeward steps

Cherished goodness brightens

Strengthening tomorrow’s bonds

Grace shall enlighten

 

Love fills another home

Peace refreshes outlook

Praying with one single voice

Heaven’s warm chinook

 

Harmony writes new psalm

Tranquility’s fellowship

Sharing gratitude today

Praise from every lip

An unschooled man who knows how to meditate upon the Lord has learned far more than the man with the highest education who does not know how to meditate.

From Psalm 77:12:  “I will meditate on all your work and muse on your mighty deeds.”

Charles Stanley (1932-2023) was an American pastor and Christian writer.  He was dedicated to leading a teaching ministry.

Rising Faith

From Colossians 3:1-2:  “So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.  Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth.”

Sitting on sidelines of life

Shadows of darkness smother

Tempted by earthly idols

Searching for Christian brothers

 

Realizing character counts

Spirit leads man to Christ’s love

Raised up through heavenly grace

Setting mind on things above

 

Cleansing with fire, cache of sins

Obedience marks each day

Revealed through Christ’s forgiveness

Clothing self in righteous ways

 

Answering God’s blessed call

Heaven’s love binds without doubts

Perfected in harmony

Redeeming life’s turnabout

 

Dwelling in each heart, Christ’s peace

Gratitude writing hymn’s praise

Called to daily fellowship

Rising faith, always ablaze

We shall not benefit from reading the Old Testament unless we look for and meditate on the glory of Christ in its pages.

From 2 Corinthians 3:9:  “For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, much more does the ministry of justification abound in glory!”

John Owen (1616-1683) was an English Puritan church leader and theologian.

From the words of American Christian author, James Dobson:  “It is important to know that you have to work to keep love alive, you have to protect it and maintain it, just like you would a delicate flower.”

Encouraged to trust Father’s Word

Hope sown with Christ’s patient love

Precious seeds of kindness

Heaven harvests from above

 

Cultivated with Father’s grace

Eternal light never ends

Rejoice with Spirit’s peace

Fragile love strengthens to mend

 

Answered with Father’s faithfulness

Calvary pays debits of man

Love rises with new life

According to divine plan

 

Called by Father, who always cares

Love each delicate flower

Maintain, always protect

Backed up with mercy’s power

 

Commanded by Father above

Always love one another

Just as faith’s Savior loved

Every sister and brother

From 1 Corinthians 13:13:  “And now faith, hope, and love remain, these three, and the greatest of these is love.”

God’s love breaks down barriers through His grace.  Then our eyes are opened to the genuine nature of His love.
