Thanks for Being You!
December 3, 2018
Enter his gates with thanksgiving.
Psalm 100:4
When I served as my moms live-in caregiver at a cancer center, I got to know Lori, another caregiver who lived down the hallway from us with her husband, Frank. I would chat, laugh, vent, cry, and pray with Lori in the shared living areas. We enjoyed supporting each other as we cared for our loved ones.
One day, I missed the free shuttle that took residents to buy groceries. Lori offered to drive me to the store later that evening. With grateful tears, I accepted her offer. Thanks for being you, I said. I truly appreciated her for who she was as a person, not just for what she did for me as a friend.
Psalm 100 demonstrates an appreciation of God for who He is, not simply for all He does. The psalmist invites all the earth (v. 1) to worship the Lord with gladness (v. 2), being confident in knowing the Lord is God (v. 3). Our Maker invites us into His presence to give thanks to him and praise his name (v. 4). Yes, the Lord remains worthy of our ongoing thankfulness because He is good, His love endures forever, and His faithfulness continues through all generations (v. 5).
God will always be the Creator and Sustainer of the universe and our intimately loving Father. He deserves our genuine joy-filled gratitude.
Lord, thanks for being You!
Who can you share Gods love with today?
Psalm 100 echoes the words of Psalm 95. Both begin with an appeal to shout for joy and together call for a resounding celebration in song to the God of gods, Yahweh. This personal name of Israels God is translated in English versions as Lord.
But beyond their similarities, the two songs tell a different story. While Psalm 95 attempts to rouse a nation that has lost its joy (vv. 711), Psalm 100 invites the whole earth to erupt in shouts of praise and songs of mirth. At least fourteen times the songwriter of Psalm 100 points to this God of gods by name or pronoun. With every line the psalmist invites people of all nations to enter into the presence of One who is infinitely more to be praised than was seen in the lagging joy of His dearly loved and chosen people.

The majority of flights of C-54’s were from the USAF base at Burtonwood, England, the largest air base in all of Europe. Today the landing strip is part of the freeway that goes by Warrington and much of the airbase is “Gulliver's World”, a theme park. One hangar at Burtonwood was 47 acres large. Burtonwood served as the repair base for the B-17’s that bombed Germany during WWII. Burtonwood has a great history.

It is amazing that so many people were up for the job what ever came along. Selflessness for God and country were the rule rather than the exception not like today. Hopefully things are changing after the government went too far in the wrong direction not long ago.

Some months ago my VFW commander Venus stumbled on to this idea Of getting vets to pay $20 to get there name on a ceiling tile Do what? I asked? She says you gimme $20 and we spruce the place up. You design it. I will Make it and James puts it up.
I can find no Decal for Dirsup which is my brotherhood, but I found this, and they are like grandpappy, so I guess I am in.
