It’s Thanksgiving Day 2024. And here’s something I shared 12 years before. Still true.
It’s a short list of things I’m thankful for this year. And it doesn’t start with politicians. 🙂
This Thanksgiving Day, 2024, I’m thankful for:
- My living, loving Creator who gave me life and made The Way for me to have it forever.
- A wife who loves me and encourages my artistic endeavors.
- Health that, even thought it’s not perfect, is far from as bad as it could be.
- Words and music, God’s sweetest personal gifts to me.
- More sunshine than gloominess.
- A roof over our heads and over our vehicles
- Technology that allows me to quickly and easily share my thoughts with anyone interested.
- A country that’s still free enough for me to voice a Christian worldview
- The support of thousands of people who’ve bought and shared my songs through the years.
- Opportunities to continue to grow, be inspired, and connect.
Thank God
In the best of times, where’s the challenge?
In the worst of times, where’s your choice?
And in the fevered pitch, where’s the silence?
When the love is breached, where’s the voice?
Could you have your very life taken from you
While the world stood at your feet?
Wouldn’t that completely stop and numb you?
Wouldn’t you admit defeat?
Well, thank God He didn’t leave it up to you. (repeat)
In the darkest hours, who’s your Father?
In the scheme of things, who’s the One?
And in the best laid plans, who’s the Spirit?
When your heart is healed, who’s the Son?
Could you let your very blood be taken
For your friends who’d run away?
Wouldn’t all your faith and hope be shaken?
Would you even think to pray?
Well, thank God He didn’t leave it up to you. (repeat)
Thank God.
