Thank You, Lord!

It has been quite a busy few days here at Port Douglas due to the influx of tourists and visitors on their Christmas holiday. The streets and shops are buzzing with people and the town is full of life!

I now work in the food retail business and find myself rostered to work on some Sundays. It is quite an unfamiliar scenario for me always having had Sundays off for as long as I’ve been employed. I pray to the Lord for His favour and grace at work and continue to do my best as I labour as unto the Lord.

In an unexpected turn of events (and such a remarkable surprise), I received a message from my boss yesterday saying that I can take the Sunday off.

Oh, I praise the wonderful Lord! My cup overflows as I am able to praise, worship and fellowship with my family and fellow-believers today!

[Psalm 103:1-2
Praise the Lord, my soul;
    all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the Lord, my soul,
    and forget not all his benefits.

[Psalm 100:4-6]
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
    and his courts with praise;
    give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
    his faithfulness continues through all generations.

There is a gospel song I recall that is spilling over my spirit with the following lyrics:

♪♫ This is the day that the Lord has made... I will rejoice and be glad in it
Oh, this is the day that the Lord has made... I will rejoice and be glad in it
Rejoice in the Lord, Rejoice in the Lord
Celebrate the presence of the Lord... For He is worthy to be praised
Celebrate the presence of the Lord... For He is worthy to be praised
Rejoice in the Lord, Rejoice in the Lord, Rejoice! ♪♫

Here's a cover version of Rick Shelton's gospel song titled 'This Is The Day'
