It is good to give thanks to the Lord. Each and every morning. Rejoice and be glad in Him. I love my quiet mornings to myself where I dedicate my time with the Lord. The first thing I do as I walk down my stairs is give my day to Him and I ask that whoever I come in contact with, may I be like Him. Think like Him, act like Him and speak like Him. Isn't it nice to hear someone tell you that they love you for no reason? Or someone giving you a hug "just because"? I used to love receiving thank you's on the job from a co-worker or employee. Encouraging words feed the spirit. Well God is no different. God wants us to include Him, praise Him and thank Him for what He does for us. He wants to be first in our lives and acknowledged so imagine His sadness when we are waking up and going about our day without even speaking with Him? He can not be pleased. And it is no way to start your day. We need to value the Lord like we value our family, children, friends. He needs to be a constant in our daily walk by studying His word, praying in His presence and acknowledging Him each and every morning of each and every day. He is our source of love, our Counselor. When we look upon Him each and every day we allow our joy to be the strength in the Lord.
