Upon that old rugged cross,

Blood streamed from his hands and feet,

The dark nails pierce him and the sky turns black,

Cruel men did mock him and spit in his face,

He endured it all and forgave us our sins,

'Jesus' death paid our sin debt price,

His sinless soul was an offering for sin,

They gave Him a ‘crown’ of sharp thorns,

He suffered beatings beyond belief,

Such lonely cries He made, from Calvary,

He borne our brokenness and dearly paid the cost,

His scourged back stung and bled and bled,

It is finished! ' the Saviour screamed,

He died for you. He died for me,

God of heaven, born on earth
Infinite glory here brought forth
First laid upon ignoble straw
Then on a cross to die for all
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth...'...the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!'"
 John 1:1,14,29b

I forgive others,
I forgive myself,
I thank God for another new day,
I try to make one difference to someone,
Touch one soul,
Encourage and hold a hand,
For one new day means one more chance to live life.
Amen

In the spring and in the autumn,
in the calm and in the storm.
I give thanks to You, O Lord.

In my sorrow and in my joy,
in times of bounty and times of uncertainty.
I give thanks to You, O Lord.

In times of darkness.
In times of sickness.
In times of abundance.
In times of youthful vitality.

In times when I do not understand why.

I give thanks to You, O Lord.

In days of rest; and days of stress.
In days of struggle; and days of hopefulness.
I give thanks to You, O Lord.

In every season.
In every season.
I give thanks to You, O Lord.
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord,
unto me. (Thomas Chisholm, 1923)
I give thanks.
To Thee.
Today is Thanksgiving Day in Canada.  I am overwhelmed with gratitude over all God has given me.
