/Praise Transforms
In every thing give thanks 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Rejoice in Me always, for as you rejoice and give thanks, you release heaven's treasures and shower upon your head the blessings of a delighted Father. Nothing so thoroughly delights the Father's heart as the praises of His children. For praise inclines the heart toward gratitude, and gratitude nurtures contentment, and you may know for a certainty that no fruit ever appears on the tree of discontent.
So never cease in your praising, for in the midst of it I will manifest Myself. Praise will transform the humblest dwelling to a hallowed haven.

When I read this I am reminded of how often I forget to praise God for the situations that I face, he is lovingly waiting for me to come to him and tell him how much I love him, He really made us to have a relationship with him, and a much closer relationship than we have ever allowed to exist between us and him. What would our life be like if we yield in praise to him? Would we see changes in what we are experiencing? Would we see victories in our lives over the obstacles that hinder our walk with him? I challenge you that next time something happens that is frustrating for you, try praising God, try thanking him for your life the way it is. Godliness with contentment is great gain 1 Timothy 6:6
Father, we give you this day, guide our steps and direct our paths, but most of all draw us to you, give us a hunger and a desire to be more like you. Help us to praise you this day, show us the things that you have given us that are worthy of being reasons for praise. In Jesus name. Amen
Yesterday we were at home, much of our day was focused on the Wright family and their extra day in Florida. I did some cleaning and sewed blocks for a quilt. Saturday is always a time to spend with Seniors at the center for coffee in the afternoon.
