Psalm 30
A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple.
I will extol You, O Lord, for You have drawn me up
and have not let my foes rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried to You for help,
and You have healed me.
3 O Lord, You have brought up my soul from Sheol;
You restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.
4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you His saints,
and give thanks to His Holy Name
5 For His anger is but for a moment,
and
His favor is for a Lifetime.
Weeping may tarry for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,
“I shall never be moved.”
7 By Your favor, O Lord,
You made my mountain stand strong;
You hid Your face;
I was dismayed.
8 To You, O Lord, I cry,
and to the Lord I plead for mercy:
9 “What profit is there in my death,
if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise You?
Will it tell of Your faithfulness?
10 Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!
O Lord, be my helper!”
11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have loosed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,
12 that my glory may sing Your praise and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever!

We want to find out how we can have gratitude. Everyone has the wobbles sometime. Even if we can look like concrete pillars. The truth is, we all have a few days that are better and then a few days looking bleak to us.
I was looking over a February Post of 2014.
An acquaintance from my last Church was in a Facebook Group for Moms she recommended. We joined. The Group promised open hearts and open minds for moms. This friend is named Lauren for this story. Lauren was hit by someone running a red light, her larger vehicle turned over and was destroyed. She had carpool, with her children and a child's friend with them. The car didn't roll just once. The Post showed the Police, the flattened car and Lauren told the group she had never been more glad to be alive, thank God they survived. The group went ape and told her others died, in other accidents, and she had hurt and preached about survival and had the gall to Thank God. It went just badly offff. And the group told her to apologize for preaching. She really hadn't. And then the next few days she was removed from the group.
The result was our group left. They never even knew we were a group.
Grateful.
I'm grateful we are all more aware of the Gratitude to be Alive.
I'm grateful that if this woman said her child survived going to the Hospital with Covid, Thank God, no one would tell her, or write her, to shut up. We have all lost people we never dreamed we would see pass on so early in life. 2/3 rds of Americans write they have better and more important ways to live life.
This is so essential and important to see compassion for the soul we all have.
We see violence in airplanes. 2023 saw the airplane violent go to the FBI and violence went down.
Airline stock is down. Travel is down, but travel nearby is up.
Beauty is being appreciated. Family is more appreciated. More sorting things out has happened.
Abba, Father,
You gave us Jesus Christ
to save the world in Jesus Christ.
Dwell in us.
Help us to be the Delight of Your Heart.
Dwell in those we Love.
Help us to seek You first.
And with You, we will finish well.
May the Lord Bless us and Keep us
and
Make His Face to Shine upon us
be gracious to us.
May the Lord God
Lift His Countenance upon us
and smile
give us peace,
put Your Name, Highest Name Jesus
upon us Your Beloved
and we will
be Blessed.
Amen in Jesus Christ.
Abba, Father,
In Jesus Christ, we will never give up.
Jesus the God of ALL.
Jesus, we pray Life and healing
Joy and Love in all of us.
Jesus, God of Encouragement.
Jesus, Hope and Future.
Jesus the Lord
saves the world
Amen.
