What if...

...you woke up this morning and found the only things you had left were the things you thanked God for yesterday? -Terry Shock





"Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!"-Psalm 107:21
I will mention the loving kindnesses of the Lord and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord has bestowed on us, and the great goodness which He has bestowed...according to His mercies, according to the multitude of His loving kindnesses.
Isaiah 63:7
