10,000 Reasons By: Matt Redman
Each day we are being blessed with so many things that we take for granted. Why is it that it isn't until something tragic hits our family or someone close to us that we begin to notice those small things that help us get through the day? Why the wait? From all directions and at every moment God is sending numerous things our way to make us smile and to remind us that He is in control and that He loves us unconditionally, even when we may not feel like it. This blog is my trillioninth attempt at helping me focus on all of those little and big blessings that He sends my way and reminding myself to praise Him for each one. In the good, the bad and the ugly He is near and I want my soul to be singing like never before, worshipping His Holy name!
Today I am thankful for family. For family that can paint a garage together in silence and still enjoy each others company. For family that can take a tubing adventure down a river and share millions of laughs together. For family that cares enough to hash things out when they need to be, instead of giving up or brushing things under the rug. For family that can celebrate 80 amazing years with a Grandfather that is the cornerstone. For family that can share in the joy of growing up from mile and miles away, due to technology. For family that can share in sorrows and pain at some of the lowest times. For family that can share in celebrations of new beginnings and new addresses. And lastly, for family that to the world isn't family at all, but by my standards is just as special and loved as all the rest. I am thankful to be born into an amazing, God loving family, to have married into a rock solid, unconditional loving family and to be accepted into a family of friends through small group, college, church and relationships. Today family gives me ten thousand reasons for my heart to praise.
