Thursday rhymes are so Thursday-ish. I don’t know why I even bother. Because this fourth day of the so-called “work week” is just a nod to Viking mythology. Thor’s Day. Whatever.

But here we are.

And I guess I’ll share one of my Thursday Rhymes anyway.

But I’m not gonna get all excited about it. Matter of fact I’m just gonna share a section of a much longer rhyme (aka: poem). Because it’s the only section in the rhyme that points to Thor’s Day. Here ya go.

Thursday turned around and saw
The look on Wednesday’s face.
“You must have seen the sign,” he said,
“That pointed to this place.
The sign that said to come inside
And have a nice cool drink.
That must be why you’re here today.
At least that’s what I think.”

There. Are you happy out there all you It’s-Thursday-so-I-better-share-a-special-rhyme-for-this-day people? I feel like I need to go wash my hands after stooping to typing something so obviously full of appeasement to the social expectations of the day.

Just in case you get any ideas that I should do up some special treatment for the rest of week, well I’m way ahead of you. Because I knew somebody wouldn’t be satisfied with just some Thursday rhymes. You every-day-deserves-special-rhymes people are so predictable.

Anyway…

I’m not gonna share where you can get the rhymes for those other days. Only my Tony’s Rhyme and Reason Daily Devotional subscribers get that information. If you’re one of those subscribers, you’ll see the link below. If you’re not one of those subscribers, your link is also below.

But it’s the link where you can join the growing body of believers who signed up for the Tony’s Rhyme and Reason Daily Devotional. And I’ll send you good stuff so you can focus on faith, hope, and love with me.

Stay tuned…

Are you thankful Thursday is finally here? If you’re like most people, your answer would be something like, “Yeah. No.” Because Thursday doesn’t stand out for most people. He’s one of the T twins, Tuesday and Thursday, who sort of get lost in the mix.

I suppose it could be worse for Thursday. At least he isn’t hated like Monday. But he also doesn’t typically get his own nickname. Like, for example, Hump Day, aka: Wednesday. Oh yeah. The middle of the week has certainly made a name for himself.

But, come to think of it, Thankful Thursday sounds pretty good.

And that makes me think of a thankful Thursday morning I had ten years ago. I woke up that morning, had a cuppa java, and sat down at my computer to post my daily writing. But I couldn’t remember what it was I wanted to say. What a dilemma. I was in a quandary. And I didn’t like that vexed feeling. No, I didn’t like it even one, little bit.

So, what did I do? What COULD I do? Well, my last name starts with Fun. So, I knew what must be done.

I started to write about the mystery of the lost words. And here’s what I said:

Now, where did I put those words. Hmm, that is most peculiar. I just had them a minute ago. In fact, just before I sat down to type out this message I put them all in…uh…in what? Where did I put…

The Words

Did I put the words in a bag
With a tag that looks like a flag?
Did I stick the words in a shoe
Painted blue to make it look new?
Did I hide the words in a drum
Which, to some, could make me look dumb?
Did I let the words out the door
Where they’ll soar and come back no more?
Did I leave the words in my head
To be read by no one instead?
Nope, I found the words in my eyes,
So surprise! They’re here for you guys.  © 2014

OK, I hope this is a truly Thankful Thursday for you. And I pray you are never more than a thought away from thinking about your awesome Creator.

Before you go, jump on the The TRUTH. And join the growing band of believers who enjoy my books, daily rhymes, songs, and videos about the Rhyme and Reason and power of God’s love.

Stay tuned,
