[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

Thanksgiving crowds out selfish pride,
and quietens your fears,
and quickly it will override
anger, and selfish tears.

Thanksgiving turns your thoughts again
from grievances and grief
to look to others’ needs and pain
and seeking their relief.

The world suggests to empty all
your worries from your mind.
We pass them up – on God we call –
his guarding peace we find.

Tune: CM

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hears and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6

I once met a very old man and still healthy I asked him how he got so old, he said he counts his blessings, every day. He had been a municipal bus driver many years ago.

Beautiful words, lovely quote Rhiannon &

Thank you, Nolan. Yes, so easy to feel our difficuties, not our blessings, and then we forget to ask his help in handling the difficulties! Rhiannon
