The landscape of Thanksgiving
is a picture of God’s faithfulness
painted from the palette
of our imperfect situations.

Like those times we feel stretched like a canvas,
have a brush with disaster,
are the victim of a stroke of misfortune,
or feel unjustly framed.

At such times
in spite of how we may feel,
the Master Artist is still at his easel.

Much to our amazement,
He uses paints we don’t really care for
to portray His grace
against the backdrop of His glory.

Amid the blustery winds and gray slush
of our wintry world of woes,
the Creator colors our lives
with the brilliance of His steadfast love
and daily mercies.

Great is His faithfulness!
