Giving Thanks (Soundings, 2nd Impression)

by Laurie Klein 14 Chiming In

Giving Thanks:

Ah, dear-to-me friends,
despite multiple, escalating
crises—worldwide—
I still believe
ever-present mercy
invites us to give thanks.

So, Dreamer and I created another recording, hoping that it will hearten you as it has us.

In this week traditionally given over to giving thanks here in America, here’s a reading and song, from our house to yours. Happy Thanksgiving—whatever forms your celebrations take this year.

    Such sweet, calming praise! Yes, indeed, from under His wings of comfort, strength, and compassion, we offer praise to our Refuge in times of trouble. Hallelujah! And thank you for sharing your gift of joy-filled, peace-fueling worship.

      Thank you, friend, for listening in today and for soulfully joining the virtual choir. Like you, I’m thankful for our Refuge. That word “fueling” grabs my attention. You remind me that what we take in dynamically affects what we’re able to offer others. Mind if I turn that into a prayer? Lord, may we find practical, ongoing, creative ways to voice our joy and absorb, then communicate, Your peace. Amen!

    I saw your post on Thanksgiving Day, and purposefully waited until this morning to see what gifts were in store.
    How can it be? I am wrapped in the same calm of God’s loving care; His gift to me years ago when I first heard your Dreamer’s song and your welcoming voice, breathing life into The Word.
    Eternal love, hope, grace, peace…
    Right here in my kitchen, the day after Thanksgiving. Thank you for this eternal gift.

      Dear Roberta, your words mean so much to us, thank you. It takes us back in time, too, hearing the song again.

      Thank you for joining in once more, body and mind, heart and soul, right there in your kitchen. Smiling to think of it. : > )

    I feel wrapped in a cozy blanket of God’s embrace. Just perfect for me this day and in this season of “things.” Thank you. Enjoying the thought of ALL of us, His sons and daughters, being underneath His wings, too.

      Thanks for your note. Now you’ve got me trying to picture the SIZE and color and texture of those vast wings, all us us nestled beneath them. Happy Thanksgiving, Carol!

    your reading – a window into a peaceful place.
