I thank the LORD and I praise him; I bless the name of the LORD. (From Sirach 51:12cd-20)
Thank, praise, bless. What if we followed this example in all areas of our life? Thank God for everything! Praise God at all times! Bless and seek God’s blessings! Thank others who have helped you in life! Praise others for their accomplishments! Bless others in their endeavors and in their life’s journey! Thank those who have wronged you for you get the chance to practice mercy! Praise those who have defeated you for their victory! Bless your competitors so that they may be rewarded with success in their own lives! Thank, praise, and bless…what are we waiting for? Amen!
