Gratitude: Making His Deeds Known

“For all things are for your sakes,

that the abundant grace might

through the thanksgiving of many

redound to the glory of God.”

~2 Corinthians 4:15

“O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name:
make known his deeds among the people.

Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him:

talk ye of all his wondrous works.

~Psalm 105

All things are for our sakes, our good is always his priortiy. God’s abundant grace is displayed for the world through us as we outwardly give thanks to our Living God. The thanksgiving of many will contribute greatly to the glory of God, our Savior and Redeemer. Testify to all, of what the LORD has done.

And so I choose this daily task for HIS GLORY…

Thank you God for the following gifts from my week:

161. Kids up early
162. Two doing schoolwork before 7:30 AM (with not a word from mama)

Yes, it is THAT good and so clearly God-blessed.)
