As I sat down to write this post, the phrase “the sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning” ran through my mind. Being sure it is a song, I googled the phrase and sure enough, it is!

I read the lyrics and quickly realized the song put into words what God has been laying on my heart. Gratitude, yes; but more than that. Blessing the Lord from my soul every day; practicing an attitude of worship no matter where I am or what I am doing.

I invite you on this first day of the new month to join me. The song says there are 10,000 reasons to bless the Lord — I’m going to watch for 28!

How about you? Could your daily gratitude meter benefit from some purposeful attention? What is on your horizon that feels overwhelming, uncertain, too much, or just plain boring? Join me as I experiment with finding twenty-eight of the 10,000 reasons to bless the Lord.
