Entry #38: Especially For Jen

My niece, Jennifer (who incidentally just turned 16 and had her first behind-the-wheel driving lesson the other day) INSISTED that I FINALLY do another post. I’d planned to do a Thanksgiving post (which I did in Entry #37 before this one), but this post is in dedication to Jen. Hope she will get a laugh at the end, though she may have seen this before:

Dear God

So far today I have done all right.
I haven’t gossiped.
I haven’t lost my temper.
I haven’t been greedy, grumpy,
nasty, selfish or overindulgent.

I am very thankful for that!

But in a few minutes, Lord,
I am going to get out of this bed,
And from then on,
I’m probably going to need a lot more help.

Entry #37: Special Christian THANKSGIVING Alphabet

Here’s something I came across by an unknown author. It’s what I call a special THANKSGIVING alphabet. See what you think: 

Christian Thanksgiving Alphabet

A lthough things are not perfect
B ecause of trial or pain
C ontinue in Thanksgiving
D o not begin to blame
E ven when the times are hard
F ierce winds are bound to blow
G od is forever able
H old on to what you know
I magine life without His love
J oy would cease to be
K eep thanking Him for all the things
L ove imparts to thee
M ove out of “Camp Complaining”
N o weapon that is known
O n earth can yield power
P raise can do alone
Q uit looking at the future
R edeem the time at hand
S tart every day with worship
T o thank is a command
U ntil we see him coming
V ictorious in the sky
W e’ll run the race with gratitude
X alting God’s Most High
Y es, there will be good times, and yes some will be bad, but…
Z ion waits in glory…where none are ever sad.
