Songs of Thanksgiving


  
Out of them shall come songs of thanksgiving,
        and the voices of those who celebrate.
    I will multiply them, and they shall not be few;
        I will make them honored, and they shall not be small.

(Jeremiah 30:19 ESV)


from Matthew Henry regarding verse 19 above:  "They shall go with expressions of joy to the temple service, and with the like shall return from it. Observe, The voice of thanksgiving is the same with the voice of those that make merry; for whatever is the matter of our joy should be the matter of our praise. Is any merry? Let him sing psalms. What makes us cheerful should make us thankful. Serve the Lord with gladness."

With joy, I set before my LORD these praises:
  • for the Veterans of these United States of America through all of our history
  • reflections of Christ
  • God's Ways
  • His Word
  • long lost, or meandered away friends whom are found again or have re-found me
  • "I love you 'back', my Sweetheart!"   : )
  • a girl named Tori
  • a doctor who prays with and over me before a procedure, at an appointment
  • diligence
  • order
  • being heard and understood

How very blessed you are to have a physician who consults The Great Physician! Thank you for your kind words on my blog!
With much love to you, friend!

My favorite? "loving you back my sweetheart". That made me smile today.

I don't see too many drs. like that. A relationship with the Great Physician should be a requirement for each one. Such a beautiful list of praise!

Yes, don't we wish that doctors would share their relationship with the Great Physician with their patients? This is the first and only one I have ever had and I wish he were my primary care physician and not one I would see occasionally.
God is good to share him with me during this time of my life.
loving you each, ~ linda
