Thankful Thursday: Staring in Awe

 Far and wide 

they'll come to a stop,
      they'll stare in awe,

 in wonder.
   Dawn and dusk

 take turns calling, 

"Come and worship." 

--Psalm 65:8 (The Message)

Oh Lord, I come to a stop today, and stare in awe and wonder, at the many ways I've seen your hand of blessing on our lives this week.  I see you in the beauty of your creation, and it calls to my heart, "come and worship".  I also see you in my children's lives, and every day I stand in awe at your activity and blessing, and I can't help but give you thanks and praise for your place in our lives.  Lord, thank you for not being a God that is silent, unavailable, and unreachable.  You are so good and I pray that Alyssa and Kyle know that full well!
