Thank you God...........

………for new babies, relationships, kids who need their parents, parents who need their kids, kids going to college, in-laws, out-laws (!?), missionaries, church families, Your confirmation, Jesus, parents, kids, tears, happiness, joy, sadness, thanksgiving, humility, peace, anxiety, heartache, restoration.

Thank you God for the myriad of emotions that we experience at any given moment in time. Thank you for the times that you send to us that make us who we are, that strengthen our faith in You. Thank you for your sweet peace that lets me know you are there in all things, at all times. Help me Dear God, to remember the words of Isaiah 12 – and praise you – Always!

1 In that day you will say: "I will praise you, O LORD. Although you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you have comforted me.

2 Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation."

3 With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

4 In that day you will say: "Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted.

5 Sing to the LORD, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world.

6 Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you."
