Scripture reading
O give thanks to the Lord; for He is good: for His mercy endures forever.
–Psalm 136:1
Thought of the Day
I happened to be watching the Oprah show a while back and saw a lady who had written a book that Oprah loved. It was a book to help us better our lives. It was a book of encouragement. I can’t remember the name of the book, but I do remember one thing that this author suggested that we do. She proposed that in today’s world, most people focus on the negative instead of the positive. She said that we don’t think enough about the things in our lives that we are most thankful. She suggested that each night before going to bed, to spend a little time writing down five things that you are most thankful for that day. This daily list will become most important to you. Why don’t you try it? I have done it and it does help put the happenings of the day in perspective.
Prayer
Lord, Thank You for everything. Amen.
