"I give you thanks, O Lord, with all my heart;
I will sing your praises before the gods. 
I bow before your holy Temple as I worship.
I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness;
for your promises are backed
by all the honor of your name. 
As soon as I pray, you answer me;
you encourage me by giving me strength." Psalm 138:1-3


In His grip,

    P.S. The picture was taken of a little barn on the road to Hetch Hetchy reservoir in Yosemite National Park last week. We loved it so that we just had to take a picture of it!

  7. 22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
    for his compassions never fail.
    23 They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3: 22-23
    Thank you so much for the Bible verse you shared with us. We must always remember to be thankful; but I personally keep on forgetting, to thank you again for the reminder. Have a blessed day!

  8. I think it is easy to forget to be thankful, especially when we are in the midst of "life". But, when we consciously turn our focus to God and His word, we see things in a different light. Blessings to you!

    I praise God every day because I am redeemed. He chose to pursue me. I'm so thankful.
