Evening: Thank God

Psalm 145:1-3

I will exalt you, my God the King;
    I will praise your name for ever and ever.
Every day I will praise you
    and extol your name for ever and ever.
Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
    his greatness no one can fathom.

In Chapter 14 of The Prayer Dare, author Ron Kincaid encourages us to make praise a lifestyle. He refers to a passage from Deitrich Bonhoeffer's Life Together that states "Only he who gives thanks for the little things receives big things. How can God entrust great things to one who will not thankfully receive the little things?"

This evening, praise God, and give Him thanks for all of the little blessings (as well as the big ones!) in your life. Thank him for little milestones in Adam's recovery, like Saturday when he ate a cheeseburger by himself. Or, when his face lit up, he smiled, and he extended his hand for a handshake when his friend, Daniel, came to visit after lunch on Saturday. And, thank God for the persistent therapists that gently push Adam everyday. Thank God that Adam is at Spaulding Rehab Hospital. Thank God that Adam has Amy.

Hanging out a Spaulding is not the most fun thing for a 10-year-old kid to do everyday. Pray that Mackenize would be understanding of her situation, and that she would get opportunities to spend some time outside of rehab, this summer.

Pray that God would work out a good plan for Adam after his time at Spaulding.



It's been another good day with God. Let's meet in the morning, for one more prayer.

Good night.
