The best branches are found on the "Tree Of Love" where Jesus Christ is the vine, John 15:5 .


Poem Artwork

Who do you thank for your blessings?

Who do you thank when you hurt?

Who do you thank every mealtime?

Who do you thank for dessert?

 

 

And who do you bow down and worship,

When big quickly changes to small,

And success on the ladder you’re climbing,

Starts leaning like it’s going to fall?

 

Well I thank the Lord for my blessings

And I thank the Lord for my pains,

‘Cause I found a spirit of thanksgiving,

Is blessed more than one that complains.

 

So if you would love to be thankful,

Then start on the journey today.

Get to know the Lord Jesus,

I’m thankful I did it that way!

 

1st Thessalonians 5:18

 

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.


John 15:5

 

 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth

in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
