Oh, give thanks unto the Lord

 

Oh, give thanks to the Lord,

For He is good!

For His mercy endures forever

Psalm 136:1

 

One of the things that has been a very real encouragement and help to me is to start my day, by writing three reasons or things that I am thankful for. Jeannie says that I have been someone who journals for as long as she has known me (that’s a while). Even so I didn’t get much from it for a long time, until I came across the idea of using that habit to give thanks. First.

This is a very simple thing to start doing. Get a notebook or some paper, and a pen or pencil. Every morning when you wake up just write 3 things that you are thankful for. This doesn’t have to be big things, in fact it is probably better if you start recognizing the really small things; the paper and pencil that you have for this exercise. Be thankful.

I find this really helpful to use complete sentences, and to address it to, “my Father” or “Abba”, or even “Papa”, however you’re comfortable.

The point is to get into the habit of starting your day with thanksgiving.

 

If anyone has had any similar experience, or even comments of any kind please feel free to make them. I need help also.

 

Thank you,

Be faithful

Rick
