Singing and smiling

Blessed God,

Thank You for Your love. Thank You for Your plan. Thank You for Your goodness. Your grace. Your mercy.

Psalm 103:8

Referred over to Psalm 136. And now I am singing. And smiling.

♪I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever, I will sing, I will sing, I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever, I Will Sing of the Mercies of the Lord. With my mouth will I make known Thy faithfulness, Thy faithfulness, With my mouth will I make known Thy faithfulness to all generations♪

(8:12 a.m.)

Father God, there is so much need of Your mercy and grace. I confess to us taking it for granted. Appearing self-sufficient. Only to recognize our lack.

Thank You for the resources You provide. Your forgiveness. Your all encompassing love.

Lord, I am asking (Matthew 7:7) You to use, lead, guide and direct me in living this day [which You have made (Psalm 118:24a)] as You would have me. Rejoicing and being glad (24b).

You are good. Great. Glorious. And gracious. And I am truly grateful.
