thinking and feeling

 Thursday, August 7, 2025 (4:26 a.m.)

Apprehension. Disappointment. Changed plans. Opportunity. Growls. Grumbles. Where’s the praise? And thanksgiving?

I want to be grateful Lord. “In all things give thanks” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

(5:14 a.m.)

Thank You for this opportunity to read and reflect. To think and to feel. Yes. Thank You for Your Word that speaks Your Truth to our weary minds and souls.

Again sings the refrain from Sunday’s closing hymn.

♪A-a-a-a-men. Amen. Amen♪

Verily. So be it. It is true. Let it be so. Yes. Truly. Let Your Word speak volumes to my heart.

(5:28 a.m.)

♪The sun comes up 

It’s a new day dawning

 It’s time to sing Your song again

Whatever may pass 

And whatever lies before me

Let me be singing

When the evening comes♪

(10,000 Reasons)

I am choosing to trust You Dearest God. International Children’s Bible, “A person may think up plans. But the Lord decides what he will do” (Proverbs 16:9).

♪Whatever lies before me

Let me be singing 

When the evening comes♪

I love, need, trust and want You Lord. Use me exactly as You know is best. Thank You for making me grateful.

Decide what You would have me do with this day of completely changed plans. Guide and direct my every step. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
