“Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

Serve the LORD with gladness:
come before his presence with singing.

Know ye that the LORD he is God:
it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
and into his courts with praise:
be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

For the LORD is good;
his mercy is everlasting;
and his truth endureth to all generations.”   Psalm 100

 Thankfulness brings joy!  Today instead of focusing on what we don’t have let’s praise Him for all we do have!

Lord, we are thankful that we’ll be spending time with our son, extended family and good friends over this holiday.  We’re thankful we have a warm home on these cold days to hang out in with one another.  We’re thankful for the honor to serve with you and for you…   right here…right now.
