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.

Snow Days

"Oh Lord, you have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thoughts from afar."

I praise God for snow days. Okay, so I'm an adult now and don't ever hardly have a chance to experience these. I live 5 minutes away from work so even if the weather was bad, I have no excuse. So, when church was canceled because of a blizzard, I was kind of excited. It's an opportunity to stay inside and be thankful for a nice, warm house.
