Psalm 150 - "Gratitude"

Yesterday we hung our VanZile sign on the cabin. We chose the three crosses for not only the cabin but also the one for our Beaufort home. The three crosses have been our mantra from the beginning of our relationship. God, Doug, and I. We are a team. I love the braid that hangs in our living room to remind us throughout the day of the bond we have with God. David reminds us in Psalm 150 to praise God with our whole being. When we are in relationship with God, we can praise Him for the 'good' times and the 'tough' times of life. Praising Him empowers us to be focused on Him. Praising Him enables us to see positives in 'tough' situations. I shared a few times over the last couple weeks about how COVID was a blessing to Doc and I because it gave us more time to spend together one-on-one. There were so many 'bad' things that came from COVID including deaths of loved ones. God showed me the positive that came through it for me. He continually shows me positives in life when I allow Him. He opens my eyes to things I would normally miss because I allow Him to be my King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I have said it many times and will continue saying it. I am one blessed lady. This morning I have Brandon Lake's song "Gratitude" going through my mind. It's puts a smile on my face because I will always cherish seeing my Momma sing this with her arm raised up in the air praising God.

So I throw up my hands
Praise You again and again
'Cause all that I have is a
Hallelujah, hallelujah
And I know it's not much
But I've nothing else fit for a king
Except for a heart singing
Hallelujah, hallelujah
