As I have grown in experiencing the revelation of His love in the depths of my Heart by pausing to see his loving care in the beauty of a tree changing colors, the glory of a sunset, the tenderness of a relational connection, the joy of actually opening my heart to receive the gratefulness of a friend for the impact of my life, thankfulness if birthed in my heart and deep desires are touched for beauty, connection and impact and value.
As I pause and more wholeheartedly express thanks to God, I see a smile upon his face, I feel the warmth of his embrace.
Through my expression of thanksgiving, I have the privilege of bringing joy and pleasure to my Creator and Redeemer.
