Saturday Psalm & Praise - Let's Just Praise the LORD - Simply

12:30 AM, Saturday, September 15, 2007 .. Posted in Saturday Psalm and Praise Meme .. 7 comments .. Link


Simple. This week, I need simple. A simple praise song amidst all the chaos to remind me of what is really the most important thing: Praise the LORD. That is my purpose. Not training my children, not being the perfect wife, not blogging, not even homeschooling!
These are the means by which I fulfill my purpose to Praise the LORD, but not what my focus must be on.



Let's Just Praise The Lord
Words by Gloria and William J. Gaither
Music by William J. Gaither

© 1972

Psalm 22:23 "Ye that fear the LORD, praise him;"


Let's just praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord!
Let's just lift our hearts to heaven
And praise the Lord;

Let's just praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord!
Let's just lift our hearts to heaven
And praise the Lord!



I read a thought this week that made me breathe deeply and sigh long. It was about chickens. It said something to the effect of: "Chickens are peaceful to watch. Chickens are simple creatures. They simply go around pecking the ground. Just simple to watch. Peaceful." No wonder I have found myself in the chicken pen so much lately. They do not act peaceful at feeding time, but it is so peaceful to watch them.
The simple life. That is what I desire. To praise the LORD in what I do. To rid myself and my days from things that take me from that.

I love the praise songs that make you think deeply and are all-encompassing. But, the simple ones that point us to Our LORD are calming, reassuring and bring peace into my heart.

blessings! -Jacque

Are we supposed to be putting that Mr. Linky on our blogs for the meme? I wasn't sure and didn't put it last week because I forgot to ask you about it.

Thanks,
Nancy

It will only come up when there is a SP&P post done then? I don't like having to ask but does it go in the Main Entry section or somewhere else on the code page?

The beginning of the school year tend s to overwhelm me in different ways. I tend to not stress out, but I do try to re-figure out my schedule as the year has actually gotten under way. My preplanned schedule does not ever quite work and timing is off. Right now I am in the process of reorganizing it AGAIN.
This organization is the only *real* organization I can manage so it is very important to my home, family and schoolyear.
Remembering WHO I AM is a key factor. Thanks for the reminder!

I like chickens but the last time I stepped into a chicken coupe I had an asthma attack. I don't know that they are peaceful to watch though...I think they are a silly looking animal that look like they are worried and stressed. Not very peaceful to me.

I must agree, simple praise and worship can be such a huge blessing. A moment with the Lord, just appreciating all he offers to us, is such a wonderful thing. I think this week I need to slow down...far too much is going on. Simple worship will help me refocus and reminds me what I am here for, to praise and worship my heavenly Father!!

We often sing that hymn together as a family before meals.

And chickens never give me any sense of peace!!!! lol
