Psalm 100

1: Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
2: Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3: Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4: Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

5: For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus..
Grace and Peace through the Living WORD of God.

Though I'm separated from family and friends, and through the worlds eyes poor and forsaken I wanted to post today (it's been a while) to proclaim
with great joy unto the LORD my thankfulness to Him.
The world judged me when I was living out of my car. Meanwhile, I thanked the LORD every time I woke up freezing that I had a car to sleep in. He
often reminded me that even though He was the King of Kings and Lord of Lords he was born in a manger and while He walked this earth he didn't have
a place to lay His head.
He also reminds me often as I take thought of my present state of not having 'this or that', that a mans life does not consist of the abundance of things he
possesses.

I will make a joyful noise unto the LORD.
I will serve the LORD with gladness.
I will come before him with singing
I KNOW that He is God. He has made me and I'm a sheep of His pasture. I shall not want.
I will enter into His gates with Thanksgiving.
I will enter into His courts with praise.
I will be thankful unto Him.
I will bless His name. (Rev. 19:13)

For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

I love you all.

Peace, but never at the expense of TRUTH.
Tom

Peace and love to you too Tom and....always in Truth!

Thanking and praising our wonderful Lord Jesus Christ right along with you!

If I was homeless I dont know if I could rejoice like you Tomcat. You inspired me to be thankfull for what we have and not sad over what we dont have.
Thank you for your post.

Me too Kim. I have had such a blessed life...I can't imagine living in a car. I get out of sorts if the thermostat is too high or too low for my taste. Tomcat's post certainly put the day in the proper perspective for me.

Yes, you are living a re enactment of sorts of the Lord with no place to lay his head...
many of us are experiencing different aspects of the Life of Christ within our own
experience...i call this a deeper work of the Cross.

Blessings,
Signet

Blessings to you TC....
