This morning I heard my daughter wake up and come down the hallway. She was singing at the top of her lungs, this is pretty normal for her. But when I realized what she was singing I had to stop and smile: "My God is so big, so strong and so mighty..."
I'm not much of a morning person, but I'm a mom so I get up and deal with morning anyway. I can't remember a day in recent history where I got out of bed and starting singing praises to God. What a great, gentle reminder her beautiful singing was for me this morning. Each day is a blessing and even when I don't feel like it - I need to praise God.
Several years ago after suffering a miscarriage I had some friends from church over. We found this quote and loved it. I haven't looked at it again until recently and was reminded again how great these words are:
Heavenly Father,
I thank and praise you for all the blessings you bestow on me. May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart bless your name.
Amen
