All you saints! Sing your hearts out to God! Thank him to his face! He gets angry once in a while, but across a lifetime there is only love. The nights of crying your eyes out give way to days of laughter.
So as my body decided sleep was to come and we were only 1.5hrs into the drive I decided to engage in a full on worship ride for 5 hrs. As the songs began to play the spirit man became ALIVE, so much so the physical man submitted fully and after praying and crying out in thankfulness to what GOD has blessed me with......I went from crying out, to boo hooooing. WHY? Because if each of us are really serious.....and set aside the thoughts of I WISH I HAD, or if I had, and just reflect off the the relationships GOD has richly entrusted you with, and the many other blessings He's given you.....and you put that in perspective of THANKSGIVING...there is only one response.....crying in thanksgiving before HIM. Even though we ALL fall short......His love for us is shown with & in every day we live.
Here's my challenge to each of you....take 10 minutes get away from everyone...seriously go to the car, in the garage, the bathroom where ever you need to go...GO. Spend time in prayerful thanksgiving, think about those in Joplin who today will be missing someone at the table. Think about the persons in the hospital that lives are in the balances and can't enjoy the fellowship of family. Think about those in far off lands who are dreaming of a meal that they won't have. As you poise your palates to enjoy the days delicacies....pause long enough to give serious thanks. Have kleenex in your pocket, because if you lose yourself in the state of gratuitousness...joy filled tears will be the out pour. I love you all, thanks for following this blog, and as MUCH AS GOD HAS already blessed me with relationships with each of you.....I can't help but want to cry again, because He has so many more surprises for me yet to be discovered. HAPPY THANKSGIVING! LGLP
