A Thankful Heart......Part 1

Wow, it's been a long time. I am not going to promise a post anymore. I've learned my lesson. At any rate I have been preparing to speak about the importance of a thankful heart. To say the least I've been getting rocked on this issue ever since I was asked to speak about it. It's hard to realize that your not thankful enough. As a worshiper it is enlightening to see how often I come to God without being thankful for the simple fact of who He is and What He's done. Always having an agenda to accomplish in worship. That being His presence or for the Spirit to move. That is usually my utmost concern. That God shows up. Not often do I spend time before I enter in, preparing my heart to receive by being thankful for the many blessings in my life. It's been good because it has changed my perspective on life itself. Focusing on what God has done and thanking Him for it. The words "You are good" mean a lot more these days. All this being said, I have to speak tomorrow. I've never been a real good speaker. Nor have I often had the opportunity to practice and get better. God is faithful though and I'm not nervous, well maybe a little. I pray that I can encourage and give a little hope to people.
