Gardening

"He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear and will trust in the Lord" Psalm 40:3

I praise God for the ability to dig in the dirt and watch things grow. It is amazing!

Pens

"Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created." Revelation 4:11

I praise God for pens. I would be lost at work without them because I am always scribbling something down on a Post-It. I love the feeling of writing in a journal with a good pen. It is the means of making thoughts come alive!

A Warm House

"Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come." Revelation 4:8

I praise God for a warm house. Minnesota winters are freezing and it is nice to have a place to go, shelter from the cold. I can curl up in a warm blanket in my warm house. Thank you Lord!

PTO

"This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. The Lord's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:21-23

I praise God for PTO. It is so nice to be able to stay home from work and get paid for it. I don't take as much as I should, but when I do, I appreciate it very much. I look forward to using the time to spend with family.

Popcorn

"Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast." Psalm 33:8-9

I praise God for popcorn. It tastes so good and is easy to make. It goes great with watching a movie.

Soap

"Sing praise to the Lord, you His godly ones, and give thanks to His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning." Psalm 30: 4-5

I praise God for soap. I really like having something to get me clean and smelling good. There are so many kinds and so many scents. It is a good-smelling thing.

Cell Phones

"My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my soul." Psalm 108: 1

I praise God for cell phones. It's just such a blessing to be able to keep in touch with my family; they're only ever a phone call away. Not to mention, it's a good feeling to know that (as long as I have signal) I can call for help if I'm stranded somewhere. The new phones are a lot of fun, too, with all the cool apps and features. We are a blessed nation.
