Choosing Gratitude - 3

"The Scripture says that God inhabits the praises of His people (Ps. 22:3).  God lives in the place of praise.  If we want to be where He is, we need to go to His address...See if expressing gratitude to the Lord doesn't magnify Him in your eyes, increasing your depth perception of this One who knows your name, counts the hairs on your head, and manifests His love for you with one blessing after another.  See if the practice of intentional gratitude doesn't transport you even nearer to Him-not just where your faith can believe it but where your heart can sense it.  Thanksgiving puts us in God's living room.  It paves the way to His presence."

Oooh, new background! Love it! Thanks for posting your nuggets...thought provoking and God-honoring, as usual. Haven't gotten caught up on your pictures, yet, but the ones I have seen are precious. How great to have the family all in one place.

Love the book! Putting its principles into practice, truly life-changing and God-exalting. And of course I love having all the family close by.
