5/7/21 ~ Psalms 136
This past weekend I was on vacation. I say that term a little loosely because when I take a couple extra days off, I am either at a horse show or I am at the farm in Kansas working on something to help Mom. This past weekend was no different. The exception was that I brought the horses back with me this time. But, while down there I was able to help make Mom’s sheep pens a little better.
There are times when you are out in the field working that it is just you, the tools and nature. You forget that there is a whole city waiting for you to get back to when you are done with your vacation. So, while I was pounding t-posts into the ground and putting wire panels up I had a chance to listen to What a wonderful world that God has truly gifted us with. I heard meadowlarks singing, pheasants and sparrows; there was the far off sound of the cattle lowing and the horses chewing their hay as well as the wind blowing through the prairie grass in the field. Then you would hear an occasional flok of geese or a hawk overhead.
When I opened my Bible to look for a verse for this week, not just one verse stood out. But Psalm 136; “1Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.” This Psalm is full of all of the wonderful things that God has created and that we give thanks for because God’s love endures forever
Lord Jesus, forgive me for not saying “Thank You.” I repent of focusing on the things I don’t have, instead of the blessings You have given me. I want to be like the one who returned to express gratitude. Thank You for saving me, forgiving me and providing for my needs each day. In Jesus’ Name, Amen..
