As I sit here and type, I can’t help but think about how blessed I am. When this blog is posted, Thanksgiving Day will have passed, thousands will be lined up at the front of different stores to claim that “prize” of a gift or supposed necessity that they have to have, some may be eating leftovers of a feast we shared with family or friends, others may choose to sleep all day…Either way, I have so much to be thankful for. I have an amazing husband who couldn’t have been more perfect for me, I have an awesome job that allows me to operate in what I’m gifted in, I have family and friends who love me even in spite of myself, I have no lack in anything when I think about it, and most importantly, I have a loving, merciful, and gracious God who gave the ultimate gift….His Son!
This series we just closed out called “The Poet”, may be over, but I have really enjoyed it. God showed me so much (too much to write here and plus I don’t want to hear Pastor Eric ask me if there’s a caboose to my train of thought). Anyways, I want to leave you with this thought as you read Psalm 150. When you have an attitude of gratitude, praising God for who He is and what He has promised to do, will come naturally.
Praise the Lord !
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heaven!
Praise him for his mighty works;
praise his unequaled greatness!
Praise him with a blast of the ram’s horn;
praise him with the lyre and harp!
Praise him with the tambourine and dancing;
praise him with strings and flutes!
Praise him with a clash of cymbals;
praise him with loud clanging cymbals.
Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord !
Praise the Lord !
I love the last part, “Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord! Praise the Lord! Obviously I am breathing! I want to live my life this next year with an attitude of gratitude where each morning I wake up and praise God for all He is. He is worthy of it. Don’t you think?
Hope you enjoyed “The Poet” series and this blog. Have a very safe and happy holiday season!
