Thankfulness Nov 30 2024
One more video to finish up our Thirty Days of Thankfulness. Let's all keep looking for things to be thankful for as we go into December and the new year ahead.
Today's verse:
1 Chronicles 16:35 (NIV)
Cry out, “Save us, God our Savior; gather us and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name, and glory in your praise.”
Today's poem:
This one is called a rondeau. It originated in France and it's mainly an octosyllabic poem consisting of between ten and fifteen lines and three stanzas. I used "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae as the model for my poem.
With thankfulness I live my life
In times of peace and times of strife
Though sometimes I forget my why
I find myself begin to cry
And wonder why I live my life.
Depression thrusts its ugly knife
Problems all seem larger-than-life
It seems outlandish to reply
With thankfulness.
But I don’t have to live in strife
I can look for a better life
God gives me strength to try and try
Reminds me of my reason why
With his help I can live my life
With thankfulness.

It got a little late again, but here are some thoughts on thankfulness today. Today's verses: Hebrews 12:28-29 (NIV) Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.” Today's poem: I got nothing. But God’s got something. I’ll listen real hard for his voice. I really don’...

I was thinking about generosity when I picked today's verse because we collected shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child this morning in church. I'm sure the children who receive them will be thankful, but giving also makes the giver feel thankful. Today's verse: 2 Corinthians 9:11 (NIV) You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generos...

I don't know why I was worried about how many times I'd worn this shirt this month (it was four, if anyone's curious). :-) Today's verse: Psalm 7:17 (NIV) I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness; I will sing the praises of the name of the LORD Most High. Today's poem: I tried writing a sonnet in the style of Shakespeare. Fourteen lines, with a particular rhyme scheme and iam...

Today's verses: Ephesians 5:19-20 (NIV) Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today's poem: This one is a Triolet. An 8-line poem. The first line is repeated as the fourth and seventh lines, and the second line is repeated as the eighth line. How can I be sure this phrase rings true: Thankful...

It's a rainy night here in South Dakota. I was thinking about all of the sadness people deal with in life, so I wrote today's poem from that perspective. Hopefully, choosing to be thankful can get us through those hard times. Today's verse: Psalm 69:30 (NIV) I will praise God's name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving. Today's poem: This one is a Magic 9. It's a pretty recent type of poem...

Just started a new discipleship group at church tonight with some wonderful women. It will be good to encourage and support each other as we pray for each other and study the Bible when we meet. Do you have someone who helps you grow spiritually? Thank God for them! (And let me know in the comments.) Today's verse: Psalm 50:14 (NIV) Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Mos...

Back home and sharing some more thoughts about thankfulness. I hope you're making a list this month...or at least focusing more on being thankful. I know it's helping me! Today's verses: Psalm 107:8-9 (NIV) Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind, for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. Today's poem: This one is a v...
May God bless you 🙏
Thanks, @LouangeGlele
Thank, Robyn!
You're welcome, @susancrews934. Good to hear from you!
I'm behind a bit. 😊 Thankful we finished Midwest corn harvest just last Monday.
Your acrostic poem is great. I'm thankful for being able to sew. Currently piecing some mini ABCs.
I like today's poem!
Thank you, Robyn!
Oh my! This short video turned into just audio at the end. Guess I didn't have good reception. Oh well...at least the audio worked.
I attend online Fresh Hope meetings. Maybe i heard about you there. I have the sweatshirt with 100 reasons to stay. 👍🏼
That's great, @JustJulesM! Fresh Hope is so helpful. I'm thinking about getting that sweatshirt. Is it comfy?
@@robynmulder7859 Oh yes, very cozy. I just struggle to wear it. Will my husband be mad about it bc he gets mad/angry when I'm not doing well. What will others think? But I shouldn't be so hesitant. I've gotten nice compliments over other mental health shirts. 🤷🏼♀️
@@robynmulder7859 The 100 reasons shirt is super comfy! A thick & soft sweatshirt. I was actually impressed. (I've only worn it once. A bit embarrassed that I'll be labeled. However, other shirts that encourage to live, I get compliments. (I thought I already replied. Oops!)
I just saw your post on your FB group and thought I'd check your month on YT. Good little snippets. Sunday afternoon and very tired; exhausted really. I'm going to binge as long as I stay alert! 😊
That's great! Hope you enjoy them. I'll be uploading today's video to UA-cam a little later. Have a great day (and maybe a nap!) 🙂
Kindred Spirit! ❤ … so many piles! Shelves full of favorites. Thank you for reading that hymn.
