Blessed, Beloved Lord God,

Thank You! Thank You for time to celebrate. We got to celebrate a graduate, an anniversary, fathers and working well together. What a wonderful opportunity of learning to truly appreciate people and accomplishments of great importance.

Blessed Lord how I celebrate YOU! You are wonderful. Incredible. Awesome. Amazing. Delightful. You are getting each of us to the place where we trust and rely on You. What an honor. Such a privilege. Absolutely a reason to celebrate.

Lord, thank You. I am grateful to be able to turn to Psalm 145 and immediately start singing of Your faithfulness. I love the way I lay here in bed and think of all the reasons there are to thank and praise You. Lord, You are so good. So gracious. So incredibly generous and I love You so very much.

Thank You for these days of celebration. Thank You for words of encouragement, spoken in love. Thank You for the way You have of bringing people and events together for Your ultimate good. You are truly amazing and completely worthy of every ounce of praise we can utter on Your behalf.

King David began his psalm of praise to You by exalting You as his God the King. This particular psalm (145) was written as ‘pure praise, offered to God for His many attributes and qualities’. How blessed I am to have these resources right here at my disposal! Thank You Lord.

Thank You that just by reading his first three verses here, my mind and heart went immediately to lyrics we sang out strongly in church yesterday. ♫Great is Your faithfulness Great is Your Faithfulness You never change You never fail, O God True are Your promises True are Your promises…♫ THANK YOU that You never change or fail O God!

Hands WERE raised in church yesterday! Raised in praise to You ♫the Holy One Who was and is and is to come Wide is Your love and grace Wide is Your love and grace You never change You never fail, O God You were, You are You will always be♫

Thank You Lord. Thank You for as many things that we truly have to celebrate, YOU are the focus of each celebration. Thank You for these particular words of King David that help me remember that YOU are my reason to celebrate.

I love You so much dear Lord! Thank You. Amen.
