Word Art Wednesday - Bless The Lord

I'd like to wish you all a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving.  I realize that many of you in other countries don't celebrate Thanksgiving this week, but I know you all well enough to realize that you're all still very thankful for the many blessings in your life.  God is SO good to us, and I just wanted to share this verse.  This week's free scripture/word art file at Word Art Wednesday is Psalm 37:1 and it tells us that we are able to bless the Lord.  I know that sounds a bit backwards because generally, we are used to thinking of how He blesses us; and not the other way around.  But God's Word tells us that when we keep His praise continually in our mouths (speak well of Him and call Him holy, pray to Him, share His goodness, etc.) that we are able to bless Him.  Since He has done SO much to bless us, I think it's only appropriate that we should also want to bless Him.  I really hope that you will join us this week at Word Art Wednesday for another Anything Goes challenge.  And, of course, I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and a year filled with His blessings.

I made this card using some older My Mind's Eye patterned papers, machine stitching, flowers sent to me by my on-line friend and Sister in the Lord Jesus, Kathy Roney, and some seam binding, ribbon, and pearl swirls by Zva Creative.  That's about it.
