I will be visiting my Ohio family for Thanksgiving this year. While I\u2019m away, I\u2019ll be sharing some older blog posts about music\u2026long before there was March Musical Musings or Monday Musical Musings I wrote about music. So enjoy these pieces and I\u2019ll see you on December 2! Just in time for some Christmas posts!<\/p>\n

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n

Thank You, Lord! \u2013 Blogging A to Z<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I believe every day should be a day of thanksgiving. But today, I am especially thankful for all that God has blessed me and my family with. I have a warm home on this cold morning. I have a loving husband who cares for me so well. I have a job! I have three beautiful children and three little blessings called grandchildren.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I am thankful for the snow that is falling (yes, it\u2019s snowing again in my neck of the woods). I\u2019m thankful for my parents who taught me about God\u2019s love. I\u2019m thankful for Jesus who made my salvation possible. I\u2019m thankful for a church family with whom I can praise Jesus. I\u2019m thankful for good health. I\u2019m thankful for\u2026well, I believe this list could continue a while, but I think you get the idea. I am thankful.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I recall a short song we used to sing as I was growing up. Sometimes it was at camp around a campfire. Sometimes it was in a worship service. Whenever it was chosen, the message was simple. The message declared thankfulness. The message was of God\u2019s love for me.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Today I share the song, \u201cThank You, Lord,\u201d written by Seth and Bessie Sykes. Included are the verses (which we never sang), and what I liked about these words are how encompassing they are. Yes, we should thank God for all of these things, but most of all, we should thank God for what He\u2019s done.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So take a look at these words and listen to this little song if you\u2019d like. There is a link below to do so. \u201cThank You, Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Some thank the Lord for friends and home,<\/p>\n For mercies sure and sweet;<\/p>\n But I would praise Him for His grace<\/p>\n In prayer I would repeat:<\/p>\n [Chorus]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Some thank Him for the flow’rs that grow,<\/p>\n Some for the stars that shine;<\/p>\n My heart is filled with joy and praise,<\/p>\n Because I know He’s mine.<\/p>\n [Chorus]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I trust in Him from day to day,<\/p>\n I prove His saving grace;<\/p>\n I’ll sing this song of praise to Him<\/p>\n Until I see His face.<\/p>\n [Chorus]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chorus:<\/p>\n Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul,<\/p>\n Thank you, Lord, for making me whole;<\/p>\n Thank you, Lord, for giving to me<\/p>\n Thy great salvation so rich and free.[i]<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
