Give God a Hand.

I've got to make this quick. This is the like the busiest time of the year for me at work. But, I just wanted to share this.

Last night at church, my Sunday School teacher stood up and made an announcement. At the end of the announcement she made reference to some comments made by Beth Moore on thankfulness. She said that Beth suggested when God has done something for us, we should be so thankful that we should give Him our applause. She then asked us as a congregation to applaud God for all of his marvelous blessings.

The congregation then gave a standing ovation. I can't even begin to describe how that one moment changed the dynamic of the entire service last night. There was a joy that prevailed throughout the congregation. Everyone left with a smile on their face.

So I just wanted to say if you're feeling down today, take a minute to just mull over the blessings you have been given and then give God a hand. It may change how you feel about the day.
