May I Never
Forget
The Good Things He Does For Me
Thanking
God and having a grateful heart is key to living a life filled with joy! Our
Heavenly Father loves to hear us say, “Thank You”!
Scripture
1 Let all that I am praise the Lord;
with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.
2 Let all that I am praise the Lord;
may I never forget the good things he does for me.
3 He forgives all my sins
and heals all my diseases.
4 He redeems me from death
and crowns me with love and tender mercies.
5 He fills my life with good things.
My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!
Observation
Kathy
has been reading a book called, “One Thousand Gifts” by Ann Voskamp and
attending a life group over at Laurel Barden’s house to discuss the book. One
of the things that she has started doing because of this study was writing in a
“Gratitude Journal” each day writing down things that she is thankful for. The
intention of the book (I am reading the back cover) is to cause you to
intentionally embrace a lifestyle of radical gratitude and to slow down and
catch God in the moment.
You
go girl! Can you tell that I am very proud of the woman that the Lord has given
to me?
Thanking
God and having a grateful heart is key to living a life filled with joy! Our
Heavenly Father loves to hear us say, “Thank You”!
Stop
what you are doing and take a minute to thank God. Think about all that has
happened to you recently and take time to thank God for all that He had done.
I
had a procedure on my heart on May 19 that could have completely fixed my
arrhythmia problem and I would have been able to continue driving. Plus I
wouldn’t have these episodes of going unconscious from Ventricular Fibrillation
and having to be jump started back to life by my built in defibrillator. The
doctor spent 5 hours trying to fix my problem, but in the end all his efforts
failed. We were both disappointed. He didn’t want to have to tell me that I
wouldn’t be driving anymore and I didn’t want to hear that news either.
But
here is the good news for which I am so thankful. Ever since I had that
procedure done I have been feeling very good. I have not had the chest pain
like I have had previously. Whether it was something that he accidentally did
while he was in there, whether it was a slight medicine change that I made, is
not really important. God intervened!
What
do you have to be thankful for this morning? A grateful heart is a happy heart!
Application
I
will continue to thank my God all day today for His goodness! How about you?
Prayer
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me! Psalm 139: 1-6, 14, 18-19
