A Thankful Spirit

Hebrews 13:15

In Jesus Christ, let us continue to offer,
Sacrifice of praise to the Heavenly Father;
The fruit of lips that confess to His name,
And His Word that you constantly proclaim;
The children of Israel griped lack of bread,
Although manna was in good supply instead;
Despised God's provision called bread light,
Fiery snakes came and killed many in fight;
Moses prayed for direction on the impasse,
God told him set up a snake made of brass;
If bit, aim eyes on the brass snake to view,
Not to worry for their life will continue;
Many of them having a different thought,
Seeing Moses as the enemy they sought;
Christians fight against a thankless spirit,
Maybe sometimes thinking of it as a pirate;
People tend to have a long list of crimes,
Many sins against God and the list climbs;
We simply need to stop the greed today,
Thank God for the abundance each day.
