Two Thanksgiving Acrostics

I've been noticing that people have been typing in "thanksgiving poems" into my search engine, so I am going to give you two today. Hope you can use them and that they will be a blessing to you.

Thanksgiving ABC's

Author Unknown.

Although things are not perfect

Because of trial or pain

Continue in thanksgiving

Do not begin to blame.

Even when times are hard

Fierce winds are bound to blow

God is forever able

Hold on to what you know.

Imagine life without His love

Joy would cease to be

Keep thanking Him for all the things

Love imparts to thee.

Move out of "Camp Complaining."

No weapon that is known

On earth can yield the power

Praise can do alone

Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand

Start every day with worship

To "thank" is a command.

Until we see Him coming

Victorious in the sky.

We'll run the race with gratitude

EXalting God most high.

Yes, there'll be good times and yes, some will be bad, but. . .

Zion waits in glory. . . where none are ever sad!

My Thanksgiving List: "Intangibles"

By Linda Sebatke

Thankfulness: God convinced me several years ago that He could begin turning a marriage around if one person was thankful instead of critical. I'm so thankful He showed me the power of thankfulness.

Hungering after Christ and His goodness that He placed in me until I had to get into His Word.

Accountability: He's given me Christian friends who will know me and hold me accountable for doing what He challenges me to do.

Needs: My needs are being met by God or being used by Him to change me.

Knowledge of Him that He allows me to have, and knowledge of His working in others' hearts.

Sheep that stray and are drawn back to the Good Shepherd. Thank you, Lord.

Guilt: My guilt has been taken away by Jesus' blood. I appreciate the joy and freedom of forgiveness because I no longer experience the bondage of guilt.

Infirmities that are used to teach me about His upholding power, allowing me to experience His strength through my weakness.

Victories that I realized I was incapable of!

Interceding that is done on my behalf by friends and by the very Spirit of God.

Nothing can separate me from the love of God -- "Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation." (Romans 8:38-39)

Good work that God has begun in me and has promised to perfect.
