  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Gratefuls – 22

    Today, I am grateful for my parents. My father was a pastor. Yes, I am a dreaded “Preacher’s Kid.” My mom served faithfully beside him in the church. They both taught us to put God first in everything, to love God and to love people. They taught us to serve cheerfully and faithfully to the…

  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Gratefuls – 19

    Today, I am thankful for Christian resources that help us grow closer to the Lord. They help us understand His Word and apply it to our lives. What are you thankful for today? A recent Bible study encouraged us to read Psalm 111 and then do two things. Write down what each verse teaches about…

  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Gratefuls – 14

    This week in the midst of trying to complete a persnickety report, our computer system began to glitch. Ugh. We tried several things and then contacted support.

    We mentioned that we will be doing “Gratefuls” for November. (That really should be a word, but spell-check says it isn’t.) Let me encourage you one step further.

    Today, let’s simply praise His Name! What a wonderful God we have! Psalm 145 David’s Psalm of praise. 1  I will extol thee, my God, O king; And I will bless thy name for ever and ever. 2  Every day will I bless thee; And I will praise thy name for ever and ever. 3 …

    Today. Today is the day the Lord has made. We need to rejoice and be glad in it, come what may. Psalm 118:24 “24 This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Do you notice that it doesn’t say to do this on good days only, but…

  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Sacrifice of Thanksgiving, Cont 2

    We continue looking at verses that tell us about the sacrifice of praise, thanksgiving, and joy. There is so much to contemplate in these verses. I encourage you to meditate on them.
