Too Long....

I usually try to send out a verse every day (more or less...) It's been a very long time but one of my devotion verses really touched my heart today and I wanted to share it. But I also wanted to explain why it was special to me...

So...  I thought maybe I would share it here, too.

Wow, it's been a long time since I sent out verses... The 15 day trip was hard on me, and new people began arriving right away. Then I caught that cold/fever last Saturday...  It's still hanging on of course... We had over 80 at Sunday dinner, but, of course, I wasn't up there and no one got all the names, so we're just guessing... But this verse was in my devotions today and I really want to share it with you... When I get sick I tend to just do the next thing... No joy, no gladness, just sober "Have to do this. This must be done. Can't put that off anymore." I had slipped into this and here God is reminding me that there's So Much to be thankful for - the gift of eternal life, and here and now I can ask Him for help with all that I'm not getting done...

It was just such a blessing to me!

Psalm 100.1-5
 Shout for joy to the Lord , all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his ; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
