Do you ever just PRAISE the Lord? I mean, standing at the kitchen sink, looking out the window, noticing the wonder of God's creation, and in awe lift up PRAISE to Him for waht He has done?

Have you ever in abandon fell down on your knees in the kitchen and lifted up your hands and cried out? Abba Father! or knelt down and lay before Him in prayer?

The Word says, Luke 19:37-40    As soon as He was approaching, near the descent of  the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen,

 38shouting:
         "BLESSED IS THE KING WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD;
         Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!" :  39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples."  40 But Jesus answered, "I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!"

     We are to PRAISE HIM!!!! What will happen if we don't....dumb ole' rocks will be the ones!!!

    What keeps YOU from PRAISING? A bad attitude, frustration, your mind is to busy with other things, to embarrassed?

     I think my biggest one is embarrassement. (I wonder why though, I embarass myself in many other ways and it does not bother me)

     Does this make me ASHAMED of my faith? Am I embarassed of the Lord that I don't want others to see me praise Him?

     A city set on a hill can not be hid. I want to be a city for all to see. I want others to know that my faith is ALIVE and VIBRANT and that I am NOT ashamed!

     I want my children to see me PRAISE the Father! I want to be a living breathing example to my sweet children. When they leave this haven called home, I want them to take with them the simple knowledge that we should PRAISE the Lord everyday and all day!

     Let us purpose in our hearts to Priase the Lord. In the BIG in LITTLE things let us PRAISE Him.

    Lord, I just want to praise You Father! I mean  REALLY praise You in UTMOST adoration! When I walk about may I just have a smile on my lips and not a frown so others will know I am HAPPY in all things and in that small act I show YOU praise and give GLORY! to You! I love You Father! If there is anything in the world that I want to be a considered a fool or silly I want it to be about my praise and worship of YOU! The term, "Fool for Jesus" Let me wear that title well. :) I PRAISE YOU FATHER!
