*Pastor’s Note: Here’s a new poem I’ve never posted from our Brother-in-Christ, Mike Armijo. This is from one of his older poems that I have been blessed to collect from his postings on Facebook. Please also check out his Book of Poetry, The Journey Home, A Collection of Poetry which you can find by clicking on the book title; I have it and it’s a great inspiration.

GIVE THANKS

Give thanks for all that comes your way the darkest nights the brightest days for each smile and for each tear for knowing GOD is always here.

Give thanks

For friends who often come and go for sunny days also for snow for every struggle you’ve been through for all those times HE carried you.

Give thanks

Give thanks to the ONE Who died Who on a cross was crucified Who bore our sins and grace bestowed Who paid a debt HE did not owe.

Give thanks

Give HIM the glory all the praise for everything that comes our way.

For they are lessons taught in life which help us do and say what’s right.

Even in sorrow we come to learn which bridge to cross and which to burn.

Give thanks

1 Thessalonians 5:18
