1: Testimony

Today I am grateful for the knowledge that I have a Father in Heaven who has a desire to hear me. I am grateful for the comfort this brings into my life. I am grateful that regardless how trivial my current trial or worry or stress may be, it always matters to my Father in Heaven because it matters to me.
I am grateful for the knowledge that my Father in Heaven cares about me, my life, and my family. I am grateful for the peace that comes from being able to pray to my Father in Heaven and I am grateful for the blessings that He so abundantly pours into my life. I am grateful that His comfort and blessings are there for the asking. I am grateful for my knowledge that God is good. I am grateful for the opportunity and the blessing to have faith in Him and His goodness and mercy towards me.
I am also grateful for music and the peace and comfort it gives me. When the days are long and hard, or my spirit is particularly weary, or lost, or empty... I sit at the piano and sing as I play through the hymns. There is so much joy, peace, and understanding to be found in the hymns. It is very really one of my favorite places to find the Spirit of the Lord. On days I don't feel as though I can pray (for one reason or another) I sing and find myself praying through music. I am grateful for music. I am grateful for the gift and talent that has been given to me by a gracious Lord that allows music to be such an integral part of my life. I have a testimony of the power of music and I am grateful I have the opportunity to share my testimony through music.

And that is what I am grateful for today.
