SUNRISE--SUNSET!

Thank you Lord for keeping me from being plagued by persistent problems, especially ones of fear and varying medical conditions of both self and hubby! May I praise you regardless!

A praise song kept coming to mind yesterday!

"10,000 Reasons" a praise song I first heard in Kompass Park, Ukraine on my 2012 mission trip there.

I looked east out the kitchen window @1/16/2026--7:32 am.....

"… The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning

It's time to sing Your song again."

Thank you Lord for a "beautiful reminder" tp start my day.

Creator God did not stop there! His hand was clearly shown out eastern window of our great room at sunset @ 1/16/2026--5:52 pm...

"Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes"

From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised! (Psalm 113:3)

Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name (emphasis mine)

From sunrise to sunset!!

CHOOSE: PRAISE

Signs of God's creation have a way of making my heart leap in praise. Such was the case this past weekend in Brentwood when God's sunset had me in awe!

They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs; You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy. (Psalm 65:8)

From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised. (Psalm 113:3)

"Finali-TEA"

They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs; You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy. (Psalm 65:8, NASB)

There might be sadness when a cuppa finali-TEA is served at day's end knowing friends must depart. 

But God reminds us, even in a glorious sunset that even when leaving an area of such beauty, we can all smile because we’ve been there. Together.
