Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
And wears man’s smudge and shares man’s smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.
And for all this, nature is never spent;
There lives the dearest freshness deep down things...

Sacrifice Thank Offerings
And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5: 14-18)
Sacrifice thank offerings to God,
fulfill your vows to the Most High,
and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”
...He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me,
and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God.” (Psalm 50:14-15, 23)
Sometimes the thank offering really is a sacrifice. But He is worthy.
