Gratitude Chronicles November 20,2024

I am thankful that in most of our pastorates, I have had the privilege of playing the piano. I am thankful that my mom taught me to play at a young age. Although, I am nowhere as skilled and talented as others, being at the piano is my happy place. It is healing and joyful. It helps me forget the negative and focus on God's blessings. But most of all, with every note I play, I have the opportunity to give God glory, to praise Him for His love and mercy. I want my music to be an offering to the Heavenly Father. Psalm 81:2 Raise a song, strike the timbrel, The sweet sounding lyre with the harp. If they had had pianos back then, I believe they would have been included in Scripture. This song by Newsboys articulates my feelings perfectly: "I've got blessing on blessings Written all over my life Even when things are going wrong I got so much going right There's a song in my soul And there's breathe inside of my lungs So many things to thank You for How could I just choose one? I've got blessings on blessings, oh yeah" Go give it a listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hux8ORH_wrU
