REASONS TO BE THANKFUL...

All members of the TRUE CHURCH OF CHRIST,

gave Thanks to our DEAREST ALMIGHTY!

All members of the TRUE CHURCH OF CHRIST,

sang songs of praises and performed our sacred duty!

We already went to the temple in the morning of yesterday,

to thank the Almighty GOD for all HIS blessings every day!

We, again, went to the temple in the morning of today,

again, to thank the goodness of the Lord with our hearts so gay!

I heard from the thanksgiving worship service,

What the Iglesia Ni Cristo, Church of Christ, this year achieved!

I heard the billions of pesos and millions of dollars worth of houses of worship!

I also heard our Brother Eduardo V. Manalo, he's the one who officiated!

Brother Matt Pareja read the words of GOD from the Bible,

including the reasons why all brethren must be thankful!

We are the chosen ones, GOD has been waiting for us all,

to give HIM offerings for HIS blessings, so wonderful!

Today was also the offering of one of the chapels,

bought by the Church Administration, one vow that is fulfilled!

It's located in North California, their morning thanksgiving was aired,

to other parts of the world and the Central Temple, we cheered!

I saw GOD'S MAJESTY and ALL HIS JOYFUL WONDERS!

TODAY, DECEMBER 18TH 2011, our GOD again showed that HE REALLY CARES!

Despite poverty and hardships, new churches are built,

where we glorify our Father and receive HIS BLESSINGS TO THE HILT!

Because of our GOD'S ENDLESS LOVE we, brethren, re-made our vows,

happen what may in our lives, we must propagate, we must all travel to sow

the words of GOD must be declared so that all heads must take a bow,

for sure all treasure that we need, to all HIS children, HE BESTOWS!

Our GOD will guide us through it all  until the next Thanksgiving Day!

Be sure to come back to glorify HIM to the  Holy Temple where  we should stay!

Sing songs of praises with all our hearts, let's be merry, let's be gay!

Follow HIS words, we will be saved. surely on HIS JUDGMENT DAY!

OUR FATHER, THE ALMIGHTY GOD, ALWAYS SAVES AND CARES FOR US EVERY DAY!

OUR FATHER, THE ALMIGHTY GOD, PROVIDES OUR NEEDS, ANSWERS OUR                   PRAYERS!

HE GIVES GLORY TO HIS TRUE CHURCH so we were all gathered today,

TO GIVE HIM OUR OFFERINGS ON THIS HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY!

I WITHERED,...BUT....

Natural calamities...disasters....hurricanes...
Too strong to resist...I was extremely shaken...
But because of YOUR love, I am not forsaken...
I was able to get up when I was completely beaten!

Storms of life, as well, are as strong as rains....
That created havoc, surely, they brought me pains...
Without YOU by my side I could have gone insane....
Oh my dearest FATHER, my prayers weren't in vain!

At a very young age, I experienced to be mocked...
Ridiculed, battered, maltreated, I was really shocked...
People threw stones to me, many pebbles, and  huge rocks...
I caught them all by just crying, and telling someday I could also cock!

YOU are my ONLY witness to all these miseries...
YOU know that up to this moment I'm still looked down by my enemies....
But I know YOU are my GREAT FATHER who always gives me mysteries..
YOU lifted me up from my downfall, YOU rescued me, and gave GLORIES!

These are some of the reasons, Father, why I need to thank YOU!
YOU have been always here whenever I am stricken with blue!.
YOU are my ONLY FATHER who have loved me the way YOU do!
I will serve YOU come what may, I'll always live a life anew!

THANK YOU, MY DEAR FATHER!

 THANK YOU, MY DEAR FATHER, for the life that YOU gave.
THANK YOU, MY DEAR GOD, YOU have come for me to save,
You've delivered me from pain, rescued me from my grave,
I have to give back all the glory, I am but Your humble slave!

Many times I expired since I was a child.
Many times my soul died, many times You did revive.
Many times my spirit wandered, wanted to go in the wild,
But You always gave me the chance, this is now my tenth life!

It is but my duty to give thanks unto Thee!
I will serve You all my days, I promise. I guarantee!
But please be with me, oh Father, my earnest prayer, my plea!
So I can successfully finish my race. I'll live in the Holy City!
AMEN!
