Give Thanks

Give Thanks

Jermiah Brown Jr.

THIS IS A SIMPLE SONG
BUT IS FOR MY LORD
FOR THE ONE WHO SAVED ME
THE ONE WHO CHANGED ME
 
 
// GIVE THANKS, TO THE HOLY ONE
GIVE THANKS, TO THE LORD OF LORDS
GIVE THANKS, WE MUST GIVE THANKS
FOR THE LORD IS GOOD, GIVE THANKS //
 
LET YOUR MOUTH SING PRAISES
LET YOUR HEART BE GRATEFUL
LET US DO HIS WILL
LET YOUR SOUL BE AT PEACE
  
// GIVE THANKS, TO THE HOLY ONE
GIVE THANKS, TO THE LORD OF LORDS
GIVE THANKS, WE MUST GIVE THANKS
FOR THE LORD IS GOOD, GIVE THANKS //
 
LET YOUR MOUTH SING PRAISES
LET YOUR HEART BE GRATEFUL
LET US DO HIS WILL
LET YOUR SOUL BE AT PEACE

SEE HE’S MIGHTY AND HE’S HONORABLE
HE’S KIND, MY LORD IS JUST
YOU SEE FOR THAT ALONE
I WILL GIVE HIM PRAISE (YES, I WILL)
 

FOR HIS GREATNESS AND THE POWER
AND THE MAJESTY THAT’S IN HIS HANDS
I WILL GIVE HIM THANKS
AND I WILL GIVE HIM PRAISE, YES, I WILL
 

WHEN I LOOK HOW, HOW HE HUNG
ON THE CROSS ON CALVARY
OH, I’LL GIVE HIM PRAISE
I WILL GIVE HIM THANKS, YES, I WILL

SEE, HE SAVED ME AND HE CHANGED ME
AND HE FILLED ME WITH THE HOLY GHOST
I’M SO GRATEFUL
I’M SO GRATEFUL
I’M SO GRATEFUL
 

CAN’T NOBODY DO ME LIKE HIM
CAN’T NOBODY CALL ME LIKE HE DID
SEE HE CHANGED MY WALK
AND HE CHANGED MY TALK
YES, HE DID, OH YES, HE DID
  
I WILL LIFT HIM UP
FOR THE REST OF THE DAYS OF MY LIFE
WITH THE STRENGTH FROM HIM
SEE HE SAVED ME
AND THEN HE CHANGED ME
WE MUST GIVE THANKS

Fathers and Mothers

Sometimes I like to write and today was one of those days. I wrote this devotional and 5 songs. Now I have to get the music for the songs.

In the last few months I have been thinking about the things that made me happy when I was a little girl.

A highlight or, one of the most important things when I was growing up was my visits to my grandmother’s house in Guavate. My mom used to go to see her mom, if I remember correctly every week. When we got there we went to see my grandma and we talked with her for a little while, then I visited my aunts and uncles and then I went to play with my cousins. I really loved to go to Guavate. I used to go to the river, I went to pick up berries and fruits and run through my grandma’s land. This was one of the most important parts of my life. Every time I went there it I felt so happy.

Thinking about this reminded me about a Bible verse that says Honor your father and your mother. Exodus 20:12, Deuteronomy 5:16, Matthew 15:4, Ephesians 6:2,3.

What honor means - to regard or treat someone with admiration and great respect.

If your parents and grandparents are alive, call them, send them a text message, visit them. Ask them how they are doing. Let them know that you care for them. As people get older their minds start to change and they say things that maybe make you feel embarrassed, or they repeat themselves a lot, or they do other things you don’t like. Treat them always with respect, have patience with them, be kind with them and love them. Probably when you were a child you sometimes embarrassed them when you wanted something in the store and you started to scream. But they still were patient with you and loved you with all their hearts. I wish my Mom, Dad, Grandparents and all my family will still be here.

Mother’s day is over and Father’s day is in 3 days. Called them, make them feel special; let them know how important are they for you. Don’t forget to call your dad this Sunday. If you have them close visit them and hug them. Don’t wait until is too late and then regret not spending time or talking on the phone with them. Time in this earth is short; life is like a flower, today is here and tomorrow is gone.

Other thing, Father’s and Mother’s days is not about gifts, is about loving, honoring and respecting them like the Bible teach us. Most important of all is to honor our Father God. Let GOD know how much you love Him.

Note – As I was writing this, I mentioned Father’s Day and Mother’s Day because that was one of the things that made me thing about this subject. It’s so sad to see sons and daughters treating their Father’s and Mother’s so disrespectful. Honoring your Father, Mother, Grandmother, Grandfather and God is something you do everyday not only on Father’s and Mother’s Day.

But Father’s day is a day honoring fatherhood and paternal bonds. Call your dad.

Love You All,

Padres y Madres

A veces me gusta escribir y hoy fue uno de esos dias. Escribi una reflexion y 5 canciones. Ahora tengo que buscarle la musica a las canciones.

He estado pensando en estos ultimos meses las cosas que me hacian feliz en mi niñez.

Una de las mas importantes eran mis visitas a Guavate a la casa de mi abuela. Mi mamá si recuerdo bien iba a ver a su mamá todas las semanas. Yo llegaba a Guavate, iba y veia a mi abuela y hablabamos un momento y despues iba a ver a mis tios y tias, y despues me iba a jugar con mis primas y primos. De verdad que amaba ir a Guavate. Iba al rio, buscaba fresas y otras frutas y corria y jugaba por la finca de mi abuela. Esta era una de las partes mas importantes de mi vida. Cada vez que iba alla me sentia tan alegre.

El estar pensando en esto me recordo un verso biblico que dice honra a tu padre y a tu madre. Exodo 20:12, Deuteronomio 5:16, Mateo 15:4, Efesios 6:2,3.

Que significa honrar – Tratar a alguien con admiracion y gran respeto.

Si tus padres y abuelos estan vivos llamalos, enviales mensajes de textos, visitalos. Preguntales como estan. Dejales saber que los tienes en tu mente, que son importantes para ti.

Al las personas estar mayores su mente comienza a cambiar y a veces dicen cosas que quizas te sientas avergonzado, o repiten las cosas muchas veces o se comportan de forma que no te gusta. Tratalos siempre con respeto, ten paciencia con ellos, se amable con ellos y amalos. Probablemente cuando eras un niño/niña hiciste cosas que les dio verguenza como antojarse de algo y gritar en las tiendas porque querias algo. Sin embargo ellos eran pacientes contigo, te cuidaron y te amaron con todo su corazon. Yo desearia que mi Mamá, Papá, Abuelos/las y toda mi familia que se han ido estuvieran aqui.

Ya paso el Dia de las Madres y el dia de los Padres es en 3 dias. Llamalos, dejalos sentir especial, dejales saber cuan importante son ellos para ti. No se te olvide llamar a tu Padre el domingo. Si tienes a tus padres cerca, visitalos y abrazalos. No esperes a que sea muy tarde y despues te arrepientas no haber pasado tiempo con ellos o no haber hablado con ellos por telefono. El tiempo en esta vida es corto, la vida es como una flor que hoy esta y mañana no.

Otra cosa, El dia de los Padres y de las Madre no se trata de regalos. Se trata de amar, dar honra y respetar a tus padres como enseña la Biblia. Mas importante que nada es honrar a nuestro Padre Dios. Dejale saber a DIOS lo mucho que lo amas.

Nota – Mientras escribia esto mencione el Dia de los Padres y las Madres porque eso fue lo que me hizo pensar acerca de escribir esto. Es tan triste ver hijos tratando a sus Padres tan mal y ver tanta falta de respeto. Honrar a tu Padre, Madre, Abuela, Abuelo y a Dios es algo que se hace todos los dias no unicamente el Dia de los Padres o de Las Madres.

Pero El dia de los Padres fue un dia escogido para dar honor a los Padres. Llama a tu Padre.

Les amo a todos,

Enid
