Today is Wednesday, the 30th of August, in the 21st week of Bordenary Time.

John Gera sings, thank you Lord, as you listen, can you make these words your own?

Thank you Lord, for this day, for this morning, for this grace, but in my eye, I am yours.

Thank you Lord, thank you Lord, this is life, this is love,

to be still, I know you, all that's lost will be gained.

Thank you Lord, thank you Lord.

Daily bread, daily bread, ordinary, faithfulness, Christ in me, more and more, let it be.

Thank you Lord, this is life, this is love,

to be still, I know you, all that's lost will be gained.

Thank you Lord, thank you Lord, thank you Lord.

With all that is within me, I want to know your ways.

The light of my salvation will never fade.

The riches of your kindness have always been my strength.

And Christ is with me always through every age.

And Christ is with me always through every age.

This is life, this is love, to be still, I know you, all that's lost will be gained.

Thank you Lord, thank you Lord, thank you Lord.

Today's reading is from the first letter to the Thessalonians.

You remember our labour and toil brothers and sisters.

We worked night and day so that we might not burden any of you

while we proclaim to you the gospel of God.

You are witnesses and God also.
