Our “letter of thanks” to Him

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. (1 Chronicles 16:34 NLT)

 If we truly love God with all our hearts and minds, part of expressing that love is acknowledging the gifts He so freely gives us, showing our gratefulness and thankfulness by pausing and formulating our “letter of thanks” to Him for His priceless gifts.—Blessing upon blessing of the gift of eternal salvation, a personal relationship with the God of the universe, the knowledge that it will all turn out well in the end and all things will work together for good, the gift of sharing His love with others, His promises of protection and provision, of understanding and peace, and freedom from fear—and the list goes on and on.
 We all know that no matter how much we would like to do something, if we don’t make time for it in our busy lives and schedules, we may not get around to it. Likewise, unless we intentionally put aside time devoted to worship and praise, it might not happen. This is why it can take reserving a time to be alone with the Lord, completely away from all the hubbub of the daily activity and demands on our time and focus.
 It is important that we take the time for praising Him and showing our love for Him by thanking Him for giving us “all things richly to enjoy.”
There are so many minutes throughout the day that we can take a pause to praise the Lord and “remember the wondrous works that He has done” in our lives. —Maria Fontaine [1]

 Happiness is neither within us only, nor without us; it is the union of ourselves with God.—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
