I was inspired at church today to create a list of the reasons I should give God praise.
We are all in a place we never thought we'd be.
Things are hard for many. Things are overwhelming for many. There is much hurt.
Yet, there are so many reasons I can give God praise.
Initially, I planned to come up with around 20 reasons I could give God praise.
And then......
I just kept typing....
and typing.....
and typing.
And before I knew it, I had 100 reasons!!!
And guess what?? I could have typed more.
For Real!
