Good Reasons to Praise Him

As we are entering the official Thanksgiving week, we may do a lot of reflecting on the reasons we have to be thankful.  We may even be praising God more than usual during this season.  That is wonderful.  That is why I love Thanksgiving more than any other holiday.  There is no "hoopla" surrounding it, nothing artificial really.  Most of us Americans have caught on to what Thanksgiving is really all about.  It's the one holiday that most people slow down for.

Today I read Psalm 103 and realized that this chapter in the Bible gives us all the right reasons to be thanking and praising God - ALL year long.  Today I want to share the first five verses with you and meditate on WHAT He does for us.

1 Praise the LORD, O my soul;  all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Today we can thank Him for WHAT He does for us.  Tomorrow we will mediatate on WHY He does wonderful things for us.

BTW - I am sooooooo thankful for you!
