Count
the ways He Loves, the ways He gives a thousand more, never stop; so
that when you wake in the morning you can't help but unfold your
hands to the heavens, and tho you grieve, and tho you wonder, tho the
world is ugly, it is beautiful;
tho
time moves on and the planet spins a-blur, you can slow, and you can
wake, and you can trust, and you can pay attention; with this offer
of gratitude; because this is how you spend this one life well,
receiving each moment for what it really is: holy, ordinary, amazing
grace—a GIFT!
Whatever
battle you're facing, whatever love and thanksgiving you pour out to
Christ will be a memory that goes on forever. So sing a song and do
your work, and give thanks; and when it's painful, praise God; and in
silent times, seek God; and in harried times hallow god; and in
terrible times, trust God; and in ALL times—in ALL times—give
thanks to God, so that you take your gift and make it ALL ------a
gift of thanks back to Him.
