We Give Thanks

Thursdays – Dawn’s Devotions for Writers

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.”
(Psalm 100:4 NIV)


Dear Readers,

Annette, Ocieanna, and I are so grateful for you and the many guest authors who contributed to Seriously Write’s success this year. Thank you!

As we gather with families and friends on this special holiday, we hope that you, too, are enjoying a wonderful day.

On behalf of our readers, we want to thank and praise our loving God.


Lord,

This Thanksgiving Day we’re filled with gratitude for the many blessings in our lives.

Thank you for …

Husbands and wives who believe in us and our dreams

Patient children, who at times must wait for our attention

Friends who support a passion they don’t always understand

Critique groups who provide encouragement and honest feedback

Mentors who teach and help guide us on this journey

Agents who look out for our best interest

Editors who assist in taking our work to a higher level

Good health while struggling to meet deadlines

Writer friends who understand us and our world, as only other writers can

And Lord, thank you also for …

Imagination

Characters who breathe, live, and grow on the page

Plot solutions that arrive in the middle of the night

The ability to give hope and inspiration through story

The privilege to share your love and forgiveness through our words

Amen
