Town and Country

Good Morning, Loved Ones,

What are you thankful for today?

Psalm 108:1-6 (The Message)

^1-2 I'm ready, God, so ready,
ready from head to toe.
Ready to sing,
ready to raise a God-song:
"Wake, soul! Wake, lute!
Wake up, you sleepyhead sun!"
^3-6 I'm thanking you, God, out in the streets,
singing your praises in town and country.
The deeper your love, the higher it goes;
every cloud's a flag to your faithfulness.
Soar high in the skies, O God!
Cover the whole earth with your glory!

Today I give thanks for . . .

. . . the time we've had to spend with our oldest son, Sam, this summer. He heads back to school on Friday and we will miss the energy and humor he brings to our life.
. . . the time we get to spend everyday with Lucas, our youngest. For his sense of humor and his ability to relate to just about anyone.
. . . a cool summer, full of wonderful memories of biking with friends and family, a fantastic neighborhood summer program for kids, a chance to see New York City and a beautiful week in the Wet Mountain Valley. Summer of '09 is one to remember!
. . . public servants like Senator Kennedy, and all other public servants, democrat or republican, liberal or conservative, who take their service seriously and make sacrifices for the greater good.
. . . the hands and hearts that have come together for worship 'n work and the work 'n worship still to be done this Sunday and September 13.
. . . those who offer mercy and compassion to those who are suffering, even reaching out to those who are guilty and perhaps deserving of punishment. I give thanks for all those who have forgiven me and given me second, third, fourth . . . chances!

Come on! It'll lift your day and the day of others, too. Gimme cinco!
