Gratitude Is A Choice
"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless His name." Psalm 100:4
I was asking myself when do we "enter His gates or His courts"? When we are abiding in His presence, and walking along side Him; we have entered His gates and are in His courts. Therefore we should come to Him with a thankful heart and should be abundant in praise towards Him. As the King of all kings he should receive our favour and our lives should be a mirror reflection of His life. He deserves our blessings and praise, our lives should exalt and uplift His name. We are so selfish, we expect the Lord's blessing on our lives. If we aren't blessed by the Lord we think we have been cheated. Anything we receive from the Lord is undeserved and it is only because of His mercy and grace that He continues to be our faithful God, but so many times we fail to give Him what He deserves.
He receives glory when we bless, acknowledge, and praise His name. Just our salvation alone, should daily put us on our face before God thanking and praising Him for saving us. We were created to glorify Him!!!
It's a Choice. Will you choose to make the days of the Lord a delight? As children of the King we have the greatest life there is to live, and therefore should be grateful for what He has provided for us. Don't ever take the blessings of the Lord for granted. He is a merciful God! Thank Him every moment, not only will he be honored; but it will change your life and you will realize just how much He does for you each and every day!
He deserves to be thanked!

Happy Birthday to My Daddy. . .
. . . and Hero!
Dad, you're the best!
Dad, you make my day so bright, it lights the way for my tomorrows. Keep on shining!
Dad, no one could replace you. I can't think God enough for blessing me with a Dad who cares so much about his daughter, you always encourage me to do what is right, and guide me with wisdom to always live for and honor God with my life. You will always be my hero! I hope you have a wonderful birthday!
It's not that my standards are too high, it's just that my Daddy set an amazing example for how a man should be.
A father is neither an achor to hold us back, nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way.
My Father didn't tell me how to live-- He lived, and let me watch Him do it. Clarence D. Kelland
My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me. - Jim Valvano
Love you, Dad!
Ps. You're the best Dad I know, the Lord knew I would need you! :)

Keep on Running! Don't Quit
I started out with a made up mind to one day cross the finish line
I'm pressing toward the mark and for the prize
At times I've had to stand my ground and Satan's tried to turn me around
But I will not be hindered by his lies
I'm not gonna walk away, I've got too much at stake
I've come too far to turn back now
Every battle that I have fought will soon be forgot
I'm trading this ole cross in for a crown
I can hear the angels cheer me on and see the ones that have reached home
They now await for us to win this race
A banquet like we've never known will be held at God's royal throne
There we'll be rewarded for our faith
I'm not gonna walk away, I've got too much at stake
I've come too far to turn back now
Every battle that I have fought will soon be forgot
I'm trading this ole cross in for a crown
