Thanksgiving-Propped Last Thoughts
I pray for my last thoughts to prevail with triumphant bliss, vanquishing regret angst; and verily abounding with thanksgiving for the following:
GOD-ALPHA AND OMEGA of my life: Without* YOU, I’m nothing
since You’re my all-sufficiency and my everything.
Dad: you’re my greatest human fortress, steadfast indeed
the Almighty I praise for your legacy, thriving with blest breed.
Mom: truly the virtuous woman who molded my personhood
you exemplified essence of love and wisdom in your motherhood.
Siblings: Manong Rhud, Ading Bert, and Sis. Ming, “kapatids” so dear
how fortunate am I to be assured of your presence so near.
Relatives: cousins, aunts, uncles within and outside clan’s group chat-brace
Christ’s blessings be with you, reached-out by His redemption grace.
Mentors, teachers, leaders: your earnestness of life-building impact
keeps me fulfilling influential educator-role by faith-propelled act.
Friends: Actual and virtual, online and on-site ... you're appreciated
midst your warm partnership for which I'm gratefully elated.
Brethren and sisters in the Lord: let’s fulfill His will, exalting His name
serving as light and salt by His empowerment, advancing heavenly aim.
Orphanage family: with the Saviour’s compassion and provisions that abound
you’re my home where His grace is maximized till we hear trumpet's sound.
All the Poets in their desire to express their hearts out with passionate zeal
inspiration you are to me by the impact of your dedication-seal.
With such last thoughts reigning along worshipful spirit, surmounting gloom of worthlessness' attacks, I yield to the Sovereign Whom I trust
while ministering by His guidance.
*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.
