Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.
–Psalm 100

Awesome Post. Very Appropriate.
I am a fairly old reader, (the last 2 years “ish” but have never commented) I appreciate your Blog im not a “blogger” but love reading this and the one you do for and with CJ.
I have made this (as well as many others) psalms into songs.
Its a great reminder that we not only have much to be thankful for but we are commanded to come before him with thanksgiving. But it should not be done out of duty but rather because The Lord is Good and his steadfast love set on us and all generations who trust in Christs work on the cross is totally worth thanking him for!!
Thank you for setting your love on me Lord!!
