Give thanks

After a few days of down-time, and a rousing beginning to a Sermon Series on Sunday, I'm back to the grind of five-days a week of these blogs.

The best way to do something like that, after a mini-vacation, is to thank God for the time.

David did it this way:
1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good.

His love endures forever.
2 Give thanks to the God of gods.
His love endures forever.
3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
His love endures forever.
4 to him who alone does great wonders,
His love endures forever.
5 who by his understanding made the heavens,
His love endures forever.
 
David goes on to thank him for all things through 26 verses of the 136th Psalm.
 
But let's make this contemporary.
 
Give Thanks to the Lord who carried us through the storm last week while we were driving through tornado weather.
His love endures forever.
Gives Thanks to the God who keeps our grandchildren healthy,
His love endures forever.
give Thanks to the Lord who gave me a wonderful wife and three wonderful children.
His love endures forever.
 
Get the picture?
Give thanks with a loving heart.
Give thanks with a generous heart.
Give thanks to God who created you and sustains you. Even when things aren't good, He is.
 
Give thanks this morning or if you happen to read this in the evening. Give thanks in the evening.
