Our choir sang a choral gradual for Thanksgiving that will stick with me for a long time, I hope. It is a wonderful arrangement by Carl Schalk of a prayer by George Herbert:
"Thou [who] hast given so much to me,
Give one thing more, a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleaseth me,
As if Thy blessings had spare days,
But such a heart whose pulse may be Thy praise."
Thank God that His generousity, His gifts to us, are constant and plentiful, never sparse [spare], and not dependent on our prayers or our gratitude.
I have so much to be grateful for, and, sadly, am never so generous with my thanks as God is with His gifts.
God's grace at work!
Thank you for teaching God's children His Word.
