♫Blessed Be Your Name♫

♫In the land that is plentiful Where Your streams of abundance flow Blessed be Your name♫

♫Blessed be Your name When I’m found in the desert place Though I walk through the wilderness Blessed Be Your name♫

♫Every blessing You pour out I’ll turn back to praise When the darkness closes in Lord Still I will say Blessed be the name of the Lord Blessed be Your name Blessed be the name of the Lord Blessed be Your glorious name♫

♫Blessed be Your name On the road marked with suffering Though there’s pain in the offering Blessed be Your name♫

♫You give and take away You give and take away My heart will choose to say Lord, blessed be Your name♫

Yes, Lord. I choose to say, “Blessed be Your name”! Thank You that You have made me thusly. There IS currently pain in the offering and again I say, “Blessed be Your name”.

Twelve hours ago I got to see the most beautiful “teacup moon” I’ve seen in five years. That particular night my brother and I got to hold each other as we cried, mourning the death of his son while marveling at the magnificent wonder of the evening. There again we witnessed ♫You give and take away♫ And still we chose to say, ♫Lord Blessed be Your name♫

Thank You Blessed Father for Your work in each of us. Growing us into the Followers of Yours that You would have us be. Followers who wake up singing ♫Blessed be Your name♫ Thank You for Your love for each of us that enables us to in turn love You, each other and ourselves. What a true blessing You are. Thank You. I love You. Amen.
