In Everything Give Thanks

Expected to get back from an errand in time to see the news
But car wouldn’t start leaving me stuck unexpectedly
With the windows rolled down and inside exposed
I could have gotten upset, but I found reasons to give God thanks
As it could have been at night or in inclement weather
But it was on a sunny warm day, and I was surrounded by folk I knew
And in a familiar area and on a bus line
So, instead of being disappointed, i’m being thankful.
Like the Bible says, in everything give thanks (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

God Can Handle Weigh More Than Me

Several folks told me this week of problems in their families
At one point I started to feel the weight of so much sad news mentality
I looked to the Lord and He reminded me
These burdens are for Him, not me
I’m to help if I can, listen, and pray on their behalf constantly ( James 5:14-16)
But not to let uncontrolled problems weigh me down with worry
God already knows about it and can handle way more than me
And nothing can weigh Him down mentality.

Mindful Of Me

Who am I that God is mindful of me (Psalm 8:4)
God has created so many marvelous things
from the earth, sun and vast sea
To the countless animals, insects, plants and trees

So out of the billions of living things
Inconspicuous I should be
As I’m no celebrity or VIP
Yet, through prayers God listens to me
And responds to my every need
It leave me in awe of who am I that God is mindful of me.
