"Thanksgiving"--the power of a word

Psalm 100:4 "Enter into his gates with _____________, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name."

Mom read this passage of Scripture to Dad yesterday and he supplied the word "thanksgiving" when she paused!

Thanksgiving. I was reminded again recently of having a thankful heart IN all circumstances. Tears stung my eyes as my husband prayed for my father, as we do so often, for Dad to be peaceful and comfortable and "thank you, Lord, for the gift of this extra time that we have with him."

Ah, truly it is a gift.

"Enter into his gates with THANKSGIVING and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name."
