On thanking God

NafisaSB

We thank God for the sun

We thank God for the moon

We thank God for the morn

And for the night and noon.

 

We thank Him for our treasures

We thank Him for our toys

We thank him for our pleasures

As also for our joys

 

But do we remember

To thank him for the gift

Which earns for us

Admiration swift?

 

Do we thank him at all

For making us physically strong

For being hale and hearty

For having no defect for so long?

 

What about the lakhs

Who have walked on Life’s tracks

Without a limb or eye

Does it not make us cry?

Those who cannot see

Those who cannot hear

And yet always are

Found in good cheer?

 

Should we not learn

A lesson from their acts

To be bold and brave

And face Life’s facts

 

Should we also not

Thank God for being kind

For letting us possess

A calm and rational mind

 

Clearly its our duty

To pay the respects due

And to tell Him with all our hearts-

“We’ll always love and serve you”

    • NafisaSB

      thank you so much

    • Crowns4Christ

      So grateful you wrote this, most tend to thank God for when He helps us

      • Crowns4Christ

        Sometimes people don't realize that these devastating occurrences,as a punishment for the wickedness of all humankind

        • NafisaSB

          Yes we do tend to be ungrateful, and rarely thank those who help us. We selfishly seek the Lord only when in dire need

        • dusk arising

          Dont forget to thank your god for earthquakes and tsunamis, famines and plagues - god being omnipotent is therefore responsible. But there's the pathetic rhetorical excuse brainwashed christians come up with that it's all the fault of the wickedness of mankind... earthquakes and tsunamis oh yes, brainwashing serves them well.

          • NafisaSB

            my dear friend, earthquakes and tsunamis occur because we do not conserve Nature the way we should. I am always thankful that God has spared us from the calamities, and helped us overcome them, and have learnt to be peaceful within ourselves. Do try it - it works

            • dusk arising

              Perhaps you would like to explain how any activity of mankind can create an earthquake or tsunami? Or even the extiction of dinosaurs when a meteor hit the earth... your god did of course create the dinosaurs too... were they sinning or something too?
