Psalm 136:1-3

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
His love endures forever.
2 Give thanks to the God of gods.
His love endures forever.
3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
His love endures forever. - Psalm 136:1-3

Dear Heavenly Father,

I grew up praying these words at meal time.  I was not always aware where they came from.  For centuries your people led their hearts to be thankful for your grace and mercy which led you to make us, save us and sustain us with mounds of blessings.  As I consider the stinker I am, I'm overwhelmed with just how merciful and gracious you are.  You continue to bless me even though I have sinned so greatly.  I will cultivate a thankful heart today.  I will work hard to show others too.  

Amen

Pastor Don Patterson

The fact that we still exist is a monument to God's merciful heart.
