Praise Break

"I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth."
Psalm 34:1

"Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name."
Psalm 103:1

"Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD."
Psalm 150

This past week was a bit busy. My mother and stepfather moved into a nice home in Drexel Hill, a town nearby Upper Darby. It's a nice house on hilly land. They need some new furniture because their queen-size bed won't fit up the narrow stairway, but it's a homey place. They really enjoy it.

This past Thanksgiving I celebrated my 22nd year on this earth. I celebrated by having Thanksgiving dinner over my maternal grandmother's, next I visited my severely ill maternal grandfather in the hospital, then I topped off the night with some birthday cake at my great aunt's house.

I call this post a praise break because throughout the past couple weeks haven't stopped to give God praise for what He has done and what He will continually do in my life until I see Him face to face. Inspite of my spasmic decisions, He's been so good to me. He deserves more than I can owe Him, but since He's God He knows how much I love Him. Words truly cannot express my gratitude for His lovingkindness towards us. Sometimes I just think about me I forget that God is good all the time towards every human being though life's experiences tend to veil our minds to not see God's goodness. It really takes illumination from the Holy Spirit to wake me up from the slumber of self-centeredness and look up and see the beauty of holiness. God is truly amazing and I thank Him for seeing another year. I hope to see many more.
