My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Xochitl Dixon … AT THIS LINK … tells of a woman, dealing with chronic pain and loneliness, one morning, … walking with her service dog, … realized, seeing a hot-air balloon in the distance, that  those in the balloon could see those, like her, below; but they could not see or care for those below going thru pain and loneliness as God does ... ALWAYS.  The incident spiked the woman’s gratitude and praise for God seeing and caring for all in her life.  

And if my readers have taking in the linked song and meditated on the Scriptures above, I know you must be, as am I, expressing a genuine “Hallelujah” in thankfulness that our God sees all in our lives and cares for every challenge we face.  Yes, my friend and fellow believer, God is there, today, no matter what we face; and He sees and cares for everything we are dealing with today.  

And I pray that we all, who are covered by Gods’ all-seeing and all-caring love, can share His grace with others today, especially those in our lives who’re dealing with pain or loneliness.          

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … my gratitude for Your watch-care, Lord, which goes out with my genuine “HALLELUJAH” today.     

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … as in today’s linked song, to raise our collective gratitude for Your caring love and enabling grace today.    …  Amen               .
