We are so thankful to our God for all He has done and I was looking for a Scripture yesterday and the page opened to I Chronicles 16. This is a Psalm of Thanks that David wrote and it seemed to be speaking for us. It's longer than what I usually write but want to share it with you.
"Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done. Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts. Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced, O descendants of Israel his servant, O sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.
Sing to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared aboove all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him; strength adn joy is his dwelling place. Ascribe to the Lord, O families of nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength, ascribe to the Lord the glory dur his name. Bring an offering and come before him; worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness. Tremble before him all the earth. The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved. Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let them say amon the nations, " The Lord reigns!" Let the sea resound, and all that is in it; let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them! Then the trees of th forest will sing, they will sing for joy before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth.
Give thanks to the Lord for he is good; his love endures forever. Cry our, "Save us, O God our Savior; gather us and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name, that we may glory in your praise. Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Then all the people said "Amen" and "Praise the Lord".
We woke up this morning to the sound of thunder and rain. It rained all morning and into the afternoon. BJ got here about 11:15 and said she had driven through hard rain most of the way from Ozark. We have had a good visit with time spent playing Wii bowling (BJ won 1 and Barb won 1) and then golf with BJ winning again. Becky had a real curve going today on her bowling. Becky challenged BJ to Sequence and BJ won 3 and Becky won 2 I think. It was a relaxing and enjoyable day. BJ is heading back now so keep her in your prayers for safe travel.
Becky continues to feel good most of the time. She does still tire easily when doing any activity but stamina will come with time.
Jessica and Rachel are coming up tomorrow morning and should be here in time for our church service. We are planning on listening to Tim, Barb's son, in the morning and having the Lord's supper together as well as Becky play some on the keyboard. Tomorrow afternoon late Tim and his family are coming to visit for a while. We will be glad to see them.
We pray you may all have a wonderful day in the Lord's house tomorrow worshiping our Great and Awesome God.
Love,
Becky and Barb
