New Years Day

Well I just want to start out by putting a praise song into this blog, I expect that I will prolly do this quite often.

"Thank You Lord"

verse #1
For all that you've done I will thank you
For all that you're going to do
For all that you've promised
And all that you are
Is all that has carried me through
Jesus I thank you

verse #2
And I thank you
Thank you Lord
And I thank you
Thank you Lord

verse #3
Thank you for loving and setting me free
Thank you for giving your life just for me
How I thank you
Jesus I thank you
Gratefully thank you
Thank you

verse #1

verse #2

verse #3

verse #3

Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you

I just love these words, because they're so true. This is one of my favorite songs. I pray that you will all take these words and use them to lift our Heavenly Father on high. He has done so much for us, and we fail to thank and rejoice in him daily. I realize that God shows us his awesome Glory everyday, but we pay no heed to it. He shows us in his creation, ourselves, and the blessings he is always sending to us. My brother told me about someone he met on a mission trip in Mexico. it was a woman he told me about, who was constantly cheerful, and one morning one of the guys on the trip was grumpy, cause it was really early. And he was complaining about how tired he was. She went up to him and said "This IS the day that the Lord has made and YOU WILL rejoice and be glad in it!" (psalms 118:24) And I thought that was really cool, because that's the attitude that everyone should have. I think that almost everyone(myself included) shouldn't let anything like us not getting enough sleep, or not doing or getting what we want get in the way of us rejoicing day by day with God about how wonderful the day that he created is. I really want to change my attitude, because it will be pleasing to God, and my attitude will not be in the way of him using me. Thank you Lord for today, and praise your worthy Name!
