It has come to be my own belief that there is never a day when I give thanks for all that I should be thankful for. Most of what I send to the Lord is my own requests and complaints, most of what I talk to other folks about is what needs to happen, things that can be improved upon, what went wrong and how something should change. But something HAS happened, even when no one sees it or appreciates it and without a first, where would the improvements be, where would growth come from. Thank you for building blocks, thank you for foundations, thank you for working mysteriously and right under our noses. Thank you for not letting me see each detail and not knowing what is to come.
Do you think anything would change if my prayers were focused only on giving thanks and nothing else, for say...a week? Starting....tomorrow.. :D
Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth!
Serve the LORD with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the LORD, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
For the LORD is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.
-PSALM 100
