God Bless Us, Everyone

Post by zoegirl »

Blessings!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone....

This is taken from "A Valley of VIsion"
O MY GOD,

Thou fairest, greatest, first of all objects,

my heart admires, adores, loves Thee,

for my little vessel is as full as it can be,

and I would pour out all that fullness before Thee in ceaseless flow.


When I think upon and converse with Thee

ten thousand delightful thoughts spring up,

ten thousand sources of pleasure are unsealed,

ten thousand refreshing joys spread over my heart,

crowding into every moment of happiness.


I bless Thee for the soul Thou hast created,

for adorning it, sanctifying it, though it is fixed in barren soil;

for the body Thou hast given me,

for preserving its strength and vigor,

for providing senses to enjoy delights,

for the ease and freedom of my limbs,

for hands, eyes, ears that do Thy bidding;

for Thy royal bounty providing my daily support,

for a full table and overflowing cup,

for appetite, taste, sweetness,

for social joys of relatives and friends,

for ability to serve others,

for a heart that feels sorrows and necessities,

for a mind to care for my fellow-men,

for opportunities of spreading happiness around,

for loved ones in the joys of heaven,

for my own expectation of seeing Thee clearly.


I love Thee above the powers of language to express,

for what Thou art to Thy creatures.

Increase my love, O my God, through time and eternity.

Thank You Zoe. A Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone else, too.

I'm thankful that Jesus loves me and is with me. I'm thankful that he's providing for me, and for my son, especially. I'm thankful for small things that delight my heart.

With Whip cream (or the non-dairy stuff)

But seriously....I am very very thankful that my health is much better, off steroids, and the new medicine is working....

Great news! :D

I am very thankful to God that He picked me, of all people, to enter a relationship with His son, Jesus Christ. Narrow is the road to Heaven, which makes me glad that God put me on that road. y>:D< God bless my family, my friends, my church, and of course all the people on this forum. :wave:

If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.
