GIVING THANKS
You won’t recognize the angel
His language will be too frank
When you really get God’s help
You won’t know who you should thank.
So make your decision to give thanks now
Keep Him worthy of your praise
Don’t try to figure out His motives
For ours are not His ways.
Have you wondered how you sounded
asking for, while wasting life?
Or have you simply taken for granted
that you can do as you please
and not suffer consequence…
until you get tired and decide to
seek His help by reflex…
call out His name by habit…
question your penance?
Have you lost your place on the Implementation Crew,
forgetting that only He is on the Planning Committee,
and blinded yourself with jealously and selfishness?
Oh, my brethren, I beg that you do not surround yourself
with the worldly misgivings and short comings
that hoist you atop a throne that can no longer touch the hearts
that call for your guidance.
See, you won’t recognize the Angel
Nor His concern for your health.
When you really want God’s help
Let that Angel be yourself
