We have started something new in our family. As some of you may know it's been a difficult couple of months. In response to this we've entered a time of thanksgiving. We are doing a short reading as a family and sharing what we are thankful for following each day's events and activities. It is easy to focus on all the things that aren't going right or the challenges we face each day. We are putting those aside to give thanks.
This was the verse we read and talked about last night: Psalm 100 NIV
1 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
The first verse so impresses me. Here in eastern Tennessee, Fall is in full swing. The leaves are changing and are absolutely beautiful! Creation is shouting for joy to the Lord through a kaleidoscope of colors. As his children we are encouraged to worship with thankful hearts on good and bad days, even during challenging months. I am grateful for a Father who is good. Since before the creation of time, He has been faithful.
