Turkey Buzzards, Bitter Cold, and a GREAT SUNDAY of Praises!

Psalm 104: 34-35 "I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.  May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice in the LORD."

      Lord, I must confess to You that You were not the first thing on my mind this morning.  Lance and I have started writing about his journey. I awoke remembering things I had forgotten.  Then I went out the back door to see the temperature and saw the mess the thirty plus buzzards had left on our back patio.  I must admit that at the time, I did not feel like praising You for making them. Besides that, it is 25 degrees with a 25 MPH bitter wind blowing.  Nope...I really did not feel like praising You at all.
      But, You intervened in my thoughts and heart, as You so often do, and reminded me that the things of this earth will pass away.  You also had me see a beautiful sunrise!  You reminded me that we were not having to deal with mountains of snowfall like our friends and relatives in the North were.  I walked back into a warm home with hot coffee brewing and a hubby who loves me, knowing that You love me more than that!  Thank You, Lord, for bringing me back to praises instead of complaints.
      Today, I get to meet with You and Your people in church, sing praises to Your holy name with other believers, and to meditate on what You have given the pastor to share with us.  What a great Sunday this turns out to be.
