His Glory My Joy, a blog of Author Luana Ehrlich

Don’t thank me—
For a clear blue sky
For a rain-filled cloud
For a bountiful crop

Don’t thank me—
For a baby’s smile
For a child’s delight
For a lover’s gift

Don’t thank me—
For a cool drink
For a warm bed
For a safe place

Don’t thank me—
For a miraculous birth
For a sacrificial Son
For a resurrected Savior

Don’t thank me—

And don’t have joy.
And don’t have peace.
And don’t have strength.

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
