Thanks

It's a Psalms kind of day today. I often go to Ben Patterson's God's Prayer Book: The Power and Pleasure of Praying the Psalms for inspiration and I'm never disappointed.  (Thank you again, George, for the gift of this book.)
Many of the psalms were written by David and what a life he led!  When I'm discouraged I can read of David's challenges and I am ashamed that I complain. When he escapes his enemies, I can thank God that I have never had to face enemies of the magnitude that David faced.  When David thanks and praises his God for safety and victory, he (David) gives me the words with which to thank God for His faithfulness to me.
Today has started well and I will join with David as he gives thanks: 
"Let all that I am praise The Lord; with my whole heart I will praise His holy name.
Let all that I am praise The Lord; may I never forget the good things He does for me."-Psalm 103:1,2 (NLT).
Remembering these verses will carry me through, regardless of what the day may bring.

On the health front:
Absolutely no complaints😊
