Today's Devotional Poem .
Giving Thanks
Through time and seasons
There are countless reasons
Why joy and peace rest
Within me.
Each day is a gift God provides
Where spirited songs of the heart
Celebrate the blessings of life,
Friends and love-
Quiet reflections…
On things
Above.
Thank you, Jesus
For cleansing me
Giving me faith
To finally see…
How your love and
Presence
Set me free.
Thank you, Jesus
For your blood and tears,
For guiding me throughout
The years with your
Embraceable
True Light.
