Sometimes, no explanation, no extra words, no commentary, are needed.
Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.
Psalm 103

Who am I?
Have you heard the song, Who Am I?, by Casting Crowns? You can listen to it, and watch a great video, here.
After being the recipient of an answered prayer very early this morning, I am again amazed at God's goodness.
Our lives are so insignificant; we are barely even here on this earth and then we're gone.
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. James 4:14
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: I Peter 1:24
Yet, the Creator of Heaven and Earth takes notice of us. He knows our names, and even the number of hairs on our heads (which you know changes every day!)
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. Luke 12:6-7
We truly do serve an awesome God. Be sure to thank Him today for his provision in your life.
I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. Psalm 145:1

Great is the Lord
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods. I Chronicles 16:25
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Psalm 48:1
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
Psalm 145:3
The Lord we serve is awesome and magnificent. Think about a few of the things He's done for you recently.
In many places, the Bible says that we are just dust. We live for a little while, then our bodies go back to dust and our spirits go to either Heaven or Hell, depending on our choices.
As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children; To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. Psalm 103:15-18
What seems like such a long life to us, to God is like how fast the grass sprouts up, goes to seed, and dies.
Think of how insignificant we really are to God's whole big picture, and think of how great and mighty God is. Then think of how He lovingly cares for each one of us, loving us individually as His children, making sure our needs are met. It boggles the mind.
He is definitely worthy of our praise!

Thought for the Day
I woke up some time during the night, and these verses came to mind while I was trying to go back to sleep.
Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Psalm 103:1-5
Isn't that wonderful? Look how the Lord has blessed us; how can we do anything but bless Him back?
Have a good day, girls! Oh yeah, I had to do away with that pink on our page; it was making me ill. :-)

Thought for the Day
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Isaiah 55:12
Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it. Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof. Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing. Psalm 65:9-13
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Psalm 19:1
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! Psalm 107:8
