Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Every day is precious, as each is a gift from God. Even the worst days are a gift, because only from the pit can we appreciate the mountaintop we took for granted.
Use each day to give thanks for each breath, blink, sound, and movement. Praise Him for giving you the gift of life, for your spouse, and for the blessing of marriage. If you’ve been fruitful, praise Him also for the blessing of children.
Try to understand what is the will of the Lord […] singing and playing to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks always and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father. Ephesians 5:17, 19-20
Finally, show gratitude toward your spouse. Seek to acknowledge all the small kindnesses you take for granted. The coffee made, meals cooked, the lawn mown, the boxes stored, house cleaned, the broken item fixed, the computer reboot, and so on. Imagine if those kindnesses were removed from your life and then you will see how much you receive that is more expected than appreciated.
Promise the Lord a life well-lived, one expressing gratitude to others and glory to God, and your life will be one of thanks-living.
The living, the living give you thanks, as I do today. Isaiah 38:19
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Gratitude and praise never grow old. Pass it on!
