My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Karen Pimpo …  USE THIS LINK      … tells of a plaque, dedicated to the highway engineer, Samuel Christopher Lancaster, who, in 1915, led the efforts to build a beautiful roadway through the valleys of the Columbia River, … the plaque, which read “I am thankful to God for His goodness, in permitting me to have a part in building this broad thoroughfare as a frame to the beautiful picture which He created.” 

That plaque demonstrates the spirit of giving which all of us Christians should be willing to give of ourselves to dedicate our lives to serving the Lord with all He has given us to serve him.  I pray that all my readers have taken in the linked song and the Scriptures above - from God’s word - calling on us Christians to give freely from our lives to honor God with our worship.  Are we worshipping The Lord with our lives today?

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You …Lord, … for calling me to worship You with my life.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, for calling on Your children to worship You with our lives in service to You.  … Amen
