Happy Thursday to you!

Today is a gift-a moment not earned but highly valued. Let us treat it as such and appreciate the One who continues to preserve us. How should we demonstrate our appreciation for the gift of life? We show our appreciation by publicly expressing gratitude. Let us join together and celebrate the blessings we've experienced over the course of the past few days, weeks, months, and years. By now, you have read previous posts on the power of gratitude. So, I am certain that you will have no reservations about giving thanks. Now, it should be a part of your DNA. Yes, people who know you should see that grateful heart is an integral part of your identity.

In this post, we're going to share another weekly gratitude list. I'll post my list here, and you will post yours in the comment section below. We're going to show people that in all circumstances, God is worthy to be praised. We're going to encourage someone today to keep pressing forward-to not give up on life. Of this one thing, you can be certain. Trials and suffering are a part of the human experience. Fortunately, with Jesus Christ deliverance, victory, and restoration are a part of the human experience. So, we won't allow our victories to make us arrogant. Neither, we will let our devastations to make us hopeless. We will continue to give thanks, knowing that God's goodness is a constant in our lives.

Psalm 77:6 I said,“Let me remember my song in the night; let me meditate in my heart.” Then my spirit made a diligent search: 7 “Will the Lord spurn forever, and never again be favorable? 8 Has his steadfast love forever ceased? Are his promises at an end for all time? 9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah 10 Then I said, “I will appeal to this, to the years of the right hand of the Most High.” 11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your wonders of old. 12 I will ponder all your work, and meditate on your mighty deeds.13  Your way, O God, is holy. What god is great like our God? 14 You are the God who works wonders; you have made known your might among the peoples.
