Thankful

This is my first time to sit down at the computer in a very long time. I wanted to blog this morning about the thankful heart that I am experiencing. There are no words to express the gratitude I have in my heart every time I look at Rani. God has truly blessed me in a way that I have never experienced before. I want to express my thanks to the Lord but come short of any words to describe it. This morning I was thinking of a Psalm I memorized when I was a child.

Psalm 100
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness; come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

I know anyone who has had a child can identify with what I am feeling. I just feel that there is no way to express to my Heavenly Father of how grateful I am for the many blessings He has put in my life. I just attempt to sit in his presence and lift my voice to praise his name. I will have to say most of the time I can't even utter words but my tears that flow down my face are tears that give Him praise.

I hope I have not forgotten how to post a picture so I will try. The picture I am posting is one of Rani with her two favorite things at the moment-her pacifier and her bear.

Mary Martha,
I am so glad that everything is going well for you and that God has blessed you and Don with such a sweet baby girl. :) I will continue to keep you in my prayers.
