Praise the LORD, O my soul and forget not all his benefits – who forgives all your sins, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion. Psalm 103:2-4

  Sometimes during all the hurriedness and noise of life we forget the beauty of all the benefits that have been given to us.  When that happens thanksgiving usually leaves the room and in comes a less than stellar attitude to replace it.  Think of the rejoicing we can have over the ability to see, to hear, to feel and how about those taste buds?  How about this beautiful benefit of grace – all our sins are forgiven and there is now no condemnation for those in Jesus Christ.  Living with a heart and attitude of thanksgiving could refresh all our relationships and change the course of our home, our community and our nation.  Today rejoice, delight and praise our Lord for all that you are, all that you have and all that has been forgiven.  Then feel free to do to others what he has done for you.  Enjoy!
