days of thanks ~ 11/16/2010

 

 

Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

Psalm 30:11-12

 

Today I will praise the Lord for

• the gift of time and sunshine yesterday for Tim to work at home on the siding project
• today’s gift of work in the fields that will reflect positively in a future paycheck (even though MY will is that he be home to work again this afternoon)
• the enthusiasm inspired in my older girls by the sweet, encouraging, and very talented  Mrs. M. as she instructs both of them in violin/viola, at least for this month
• the hidden stash of birthday cash that will treat me to an overdue haircut later today
• the good harvest of butternut squash, several of which will make their way through the cooking process today  =)
• the ability of the basement’s in-floor heat to adequately warm the upstairs, at least for now.  (It is currently 72 F in the living room while it is ~40 F outside on this cloudy day)

 

Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous;

and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

Psalm 97:12
