Let's fill the comments, our speech, our prayers, the air on Fort Drum with praises this week! Let's join with David from I Chronicles 16:
Give praise to the Lord, proclaim His name;
make known among the nations what He has done.
Lord, we say to eachother "Praise the Lord" and talk about the wonderful things You have accomplished. Help us this week to make known Your deeds and Your praise on the streets of Fort Drum, through the internet circles, and wherever You have given us a circle of influence. For You have done so many good things for us.
Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all His wonderful acts. Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
Yes, Lord, this week even more than others, we take time to thank You. How hollow it is to 'be thankful' without anyone to thank. We praise You! We glory in You!
Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always. Remember the wonders He has done, his miracles, and the judgements He pronounced.
Thank You Lord for all our soldiers who returned safely this year. Thank You for all those who continue to serve honorably. May those who are poor in spirit be comforted by You. Only You can heal hearts, and we ask for You to do that.
Sing to the Lord all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous deeds among all peoples.
Father, You have given us a sphere of influence. By moving us Army wives around, You have made us missionaries to many communities; and our soldiers can spread Your love around the world! Help us to use that network, Lord. Help us to reach out to Fort Drum, to Watertown, to the world. Help us to forget ourselves this week, and show someone the love of Jesus.
...Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name...Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness....Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad...Let the sea resound and all that is in it; let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them! Let the trees of the forest sing, let them sing for joy before the Lord...
Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, His love endures forever!
God we thank You for:
I thank You my mother is healing marvelously from hip surgery. Thank You for the friends who helped my family in this time. Thank You for the beautiful snow, for this time of thanksgiving in our country, for our energetic youth and all their locked up potential, for the successes of our soldiers, for the beautiful sanctuary of Fort Drum, for beautiful sisters on post, for bounty of food from the land and the sea that we can feast on...
