Psalm 100

A psalm. For giving thanks.

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.

(NIV)

I am thankful

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

This list, courtesy of Ruthie A. who works with me at Cross, says a lot and says it succinctly:

I am Thankful…

For the husband who is on the sofa being a couch potato, because he is home with me and not out at the bars.

For the taxes I pay, because it means I am employed.

For the mess to clean after a party, because it means I have been surrounded by friends.

For the clothes that fit a little too snug, because it means I have enough to eat.

For the floor that needs to be swept, windows that need cleaning, and sink that needs fixing, because it means I have a home.

For all of the complaining I hear about the government, because it means we have Freedom of Speech.

For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot, because it means I am capable of walking and I have been blessed with transportation.

For my huge electric bill, because depending on the time of the year – I am nice and cool during the summer, and because that means I am warm in the winter.

For the thunder and rain that keeps me up at night, because it means I can hear.

For the pile of laundry and ironing, because it means I have clothes to wear.

For the weariness and aching muscles and headache at the end of the day, because it means I have been capable of working hard.

For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, because it means I am alive and ready to give thanks for another day.
