A Thanksgiving Prayer
🍂 A Thanksgiving Prayer 🍂
Inspired by Psalm 100:4–5
Enter His gates with thanksgiving,
Come boldly with praise in your heart—
For every breath is a blessing,
And every sunrise a brand-new start.
Give thanks to the One who formed us,
Who knows each tear we cry;
Whose mercy flows like a river,
Whose love no sin can deny.
For the Lord is good and gracious,
His kindness never ends—
He lifts the brokenhearted
And calls strangers His friends.
His steadfast love endures forever,
Through seasons of joy and pain;
From the first cry of creation
To the last whisper of our name.
And His faithfulness stands unshaken,
From fathers to daughters and sons—
A covenant written in heaven,
A promise that never comes undone.
So today, with hearts overflowing,
We pause from the rush and the noise—
To remember the Giver of blessings,
Not merely the gifts we enjoy.
Lord, receive our praise and thanksgiving—
Not just from our lips, but our lives;
May our worship be more than a moment,
May it echo through all of our days.
Amen. 🧡🕊️
Psa 100:4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!
Psa 100:5 For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year
That draws our hearts so very near.
No matter where we roam
We always try to return Home.
Family, Friends and Good Food abound
Little Children playing all around.
As we bow our heads and give thanks to GOD above
Let us always remember HIS SON JESUS, HE sent with HIS LOVE.
Give Thanks Every Dayy
In the grace of dawn, a prayer unfurls, For Christians, gratitude in everyday swirls. Each sunrise whispers, a hymn to say, In their hearts, it's Thanksgiving Day. Blessings counted like grains of sand, Faith woven strong, a divine strand. Every moment, a gift to hold, A symphony of thanks, beautifully bold. Through trials and triumphs, they find, Reasons to praise, in heart and mind. For in their journey, a sacred art, Grateful souls, from the very start. Not just a season, but a lifelong song, In every echo, thanksgiving strong. For Christian hearts, a constant ray, Every day, their Thanksgiving Day. November 19, 2023 MarkWaldrop
“Joy in the Night”
“Joy in the Night”
by Mark C. Waldrop 🎃
I love watching kids on Halloween,
Their laughter bright, their eyes that gleam.
Joy in the heart can’t be evil or mean,
It’s the magic of wonder in orange and green.
Ghosts and goblins, witches on brooms,
Pumpkin lights glowing in neighborhood rooms.
But beneath all the masks and playful fright,
Lives pure delight on this candy-filled night.
For innocence dances from door to door,
In giggles and footsteps across the floor.
And though shadows whisper, and night may seem wild,
The sweetest light shines in the heart of a child. 👻🍬🕯️
Happy Halloween 🎃

The Seasons and His Love
The Seasons and His Love
The seasons change, yet God’s Love stays,
Unmoved by time, through nights and days.
Spring brings life with blossoms new,
His mercy fresh as morning dew.
Summer shines with warmth and light,
His presence near, His grace so bright.
Autumn falls with golden hue,
Still His promises remain true.
Winter’s chill may veil the skies,
But His steadfast Love forever abides.
Though seasons turn and years unfold,
God’s Love endures, unchanging, bold.
Hebrews 13:8 (KJV)
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.”

Fourth of July
Fourth of July
The fourth of July is my Favorite time of year
It draws us closer to our family so dear
Picnics Barbecues and all the fun things
With these traditions great joy, it brings
Fireworks Hamburgers Hotdogs and Apple Pie
All these are great Treasures in my eye
Our Country was founded on Faith in our GOD
Giving us great wisdom by which we are awed
Let us remember the Sacrifices of so many
So that we might have Freedom with Peace and Plenty

🇺🇸 Juneteenth
🇺🇸 Juneteenth
Freedom rang on a summer breeze,
Carried through fields and whispering trees.
Chains were broken, voices raised,
A moment in history, deeply praised.
Not just a day, but a rising tide,
Of dignity, hope, and rightful pride.
A promise delayed, but not denied
On Juneteenth, freedom testified.
Gal 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

National Donut Day Delight 🍩
National Donut Day Delight 🍩
Sprinkles fly and glazes gleam,
Like sugary clouds in a breakfast dream.
From jelly-filled to old-fashioned rings,
Today we praise these frosted things!
One bite in, the world feels right—
Powdered joy and chocolate light.
So grab a dozen, share the cheer,
For Donut Day is finally here!
