Not Thankful, Grateful
Thanks to Daryl for another fine poem:
We are not thankful
For a country divided
But we are grateful
In our one God united
We are not thankful
For disease that we fear
But for unfailing love
Found in this moment here
We are not thankful
That our loved one died
But for the comfort
Of the Lord by our side
Not thankful for a job lost
So difficult to cope
But grateful for our Savior
For He is our true hope
Not thankful for pain
For the burdens we bear
But our Lord through his cross
In our suffering, share
We are not thankful
For the pain this life brings
But for our faith
To its promise, we cling
Not thankful for all
But if we live gratefully
The fruit will be joy
Into eternity

The Sculptor
A child watched a sculptor
All day remaining near
From a block of marble
A lion did appear
A question of amazement
Of wonder he did share
However did you know
A lion was in there?
My child, I must see
The vision in my heart
A passion of the knowing
Before I even start
A parable of teaching
The same for us be true
To learn the ways of God
To see within his view
How blessed be the way
With everything we see
The image of our God
Revealed in His beauty
