Sitting back and blessing Him!

Sitting out here in the somewhat fresh Georgia air. Actually, I take that back gun-smoke fills the air as I listen to the tanks firing in the distance. Still, the air is crisp and yet I am comfortable in a lite jacket. As I look into the night's starfilled sky, I cannot help but to think of God and all His Glory. He put them all there and He alone, is able to call them by name. One by one. It's an awesome thing.  All is quiet, except for the sound of the car engines as they pass by our street.Oh yeah and the rustling of leaves as the wind blows. Today was and still is a good day. The Lord met me this morning as I rose. He also, met me in the Follow Me Chapel sanctuary at PWOC. He even said, "Hey, I see You!" when I my class was ending, through a sweet lady by the name of 'Sarah'. I love the Lord. He is so good to me. He answers my unspoken questions and tends to me even when.... Today, my body attempted to take a nap. But my mind would not allow it. (Don't you just hate that!) Once my husband arrived home, I was compelled once more and again, to send something to a friend. So, I hopped up and was on my way. It feels good to obey the Lord! After I arrived home, I realized that the item I had purchased was actually ten bucks cheaper than the clearance price that was tagged on it.
I love the Lord. He is good to me and I sooooo sooooo don't deserve it! I am blessed. I even have a dog. I don't think dogs were meant for pets. Anyway, I was distracted as my dog stuck her nose through the screen door and sniffed. As if to say, "hey, I know you're out there." As I was saying, I am blessed. I know the Lord loves me. He is awesome in every way. He calls me friend. I call Him Master Friend.
I worship Him with my heart and in truth because that is what He requires of me, not only that, but because He deserves it! And His Word- OMG! It is so fitting and good for me! It is breath and food to me. You wanna taste? Here, I scoop some up for you, now lean over and open wide, "Taste, and see that the Lord is Good and His mercy endures forever." Psalm 100:5
Well, as I think about what my bedroom and my bathroom looks like all the piles of laundry (clean and dirty) I have a smile on my heart and a yet praise in my spirit!  I will bless the Lord at all times and His praise shall continually be in my mouth-Psalm 34:1
I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Oh, praise the greatness of our God!
Deutoronomy 32:3
