Thankfulness Poem by Tom Zart

Genuine thankfulness flows from a grateful heart
When we showcase Christ’s love by attitude and behavior.
As we surrender control of all life’s transactions
To trust God and Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

God wants His children like streams that flow
To pass on His blessings to sisters and brothers.
Selfishness, hate, lust and wickedness of mind
Are seeds of disgrace for unbelievers and others.

When fearful and starving for the answers of life
Our trust in God is what satisfies our soul.
Divine love and wisdom help us survive each day
As by living uprightly remains our purpose and goal.

A grateful heart is generous, kind and thankful
Recognizing God as the source of all that’s good.
Contentment and peace come by our love for Him
As we commit by our conscience what we should.
