Dear Friends,
One of my favorite stories is “The Christmas Carol”. For some reason, I was thinking about it this morning and the scene at the end of the story when Mr. Scrooge awakens from a rather difficult evening (to say the least!) on Christmas Day. The joy of simply being alive is enough to say “thank you God for another day”. And even though life can certainly get tough, rough and downright sad, if we can focus on the beauty and sacredness of simply living and being with God, somehow, the day becomes brighter and lighter. Be blessed on this day and every day! Give thanks to God as I give thanks to God for each of you. Peace and Love, Scott

This is Is The Day That I Have Made! As you rejoice in this day of life, it will yield up to you precious gifts and beneficial training. Walk with Me along the high road of thanksgiving, and you will find all the delights I have made ready for you.
Psalm 116:17 17 I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD.
To protect your thankfulness, you must remember that you reside in a fallen world, where blessings and sorrows intermingle freely. A constant focus on adversity defeats many Christians. They walk through a day that is brimming with beauty and brightness, seeing only the grayness of their thoughts. Neglecting the practice of giving thanks has darkened their minds. How precious are My children who remember to thank Me at all times. They can walk through the darkest days with Joy in their hearts because they know that the Light of My Presence is still shining on them.
Rejoice in this day that I have made, for I am your steadfast Companion.Psalm 118:24
24 This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.Psalm 116:17 17 I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD.
