GIVING THANKS

Dear Heavenly Father,

We are thankful and praise You

for the love of family

the fellowship of friends

heaven’s certainty

grace that never ends

Your provision for the lost

blessings new each day

for the blood-stained Cross

an empty grave

Christ Jesus our risen Lord!

Your right hand that holds us fast

the Living Word

for memories of loved ones passed

mercies unmeasurable

for prayers answered

Your promises indelible

hearts ransomed

lives forever changed

the table prepared before us

for broken chains

Your righteousness

forgiveness of our sins

we can never be the same

for The Holy Spirit within

our God reigns!

Hallelujah and amen!

“proclaiming thanksgiving aloud, and telling all your wondrous deeds.”

Psalms 26:7 ESV

I have been writing poetry since I was a teenager, but it wasn’t until a few of years ago that my writing became more spiritual and at the same time more prolific. As I shared my poetry with my wife, Hannah, and a few good friends, they encouraged me to place the poems in book form. My first book endeavor was “Because Of Him”, published in 2017. After hearing Sammy Murimi, the director of Share International Inc., speak at our church, I decided that the proceeds from that book would be donated to Share. In 2018, Hannah and I were privileged to go to Turkanaland in Kenya on a mission trip with Share. It was a life-changing experience for us both. Some of the inspiration from that trip is expressed in my second book, “His Cup Pours Out”. I include scripture verses with my poems because most of the poems I have written were inspired by reading God’s Word. I hope that as you visit this blog, you will meditate on the scripture verses and write down your prayers and thoughts for the week. My goal for this project has always been that God would be glorified! Robert M Hinnen
