A's Happiness Blogs

Have you ever thought about why it is that we praise God?    Is it because it is something that our mothers, fathers, and grandparents told us to do? Or is it because we read it in the bible and that is what we are supposed to do?    Or is there a purpose in us praising God?   I think that is a great question to ask yourself.    “I will love thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.” Psalm 18”1- 2       Just take a moment to read Psalm 18. Not just Palm 18 but the bible in general. What is the one thing that no matter what is going on that happens?   God is always there.    God is always there for his children. No matter what is going on, he is always by their side.    There may be times, that you may feel like you are alone, but you are not. He is always there.   T...

This is not one of my normal blogs. This is more of a testimonial.    See, over the past 8 months, my husband has been going through a few battles of his own.  ( I mentioned it in my last blog but I did not go into depth about it)  On August 25, 2023, my husband and my oldest son was hit head on by a drunk driver. Praise God they both made it out alive, but my husband’s left leg was injured.  My son just had a few scrapes and bruises, but he is ok.    So, I have watched my husband go through this season in his life.  I saw him laying on a hospital bed with his leg bleeding bad, and I saw him being whisked away into emergency surgery.    I saw him spend 50 days in the hospital, all the while thanking God and praising him for everything he was going through.    Even now, as I write this, he is back home from the hospital recovering from an above knee amputation of his left leg.  But in spite of everything, from the mont...

    "I will bless the Lord at all times: his praises shall continually be in my mouth" Psalms 34:1     Do we praise the Lord like we should? or do we just go about our day like he has not done anything for us?   David said it prefect in Psalms 34. He says "I will bless the Lord at all times."   That means no matter what you are going though, you should always praise the Lord.   We may find ourselves in a storm with nowhere to go, and we feel all alone. But if we just start praising God, we will see how we start feeling.    God has done so much for us when we did not deserve it, we should always want to praise him and thank him for being there for us.    We should not just praise God for what he did for us, but for who God is to you personally.   That is what I had to learn, who God was to me?   See, we don't always look at praising God for who he is. Sometimes we think we just need to praise God for what he had done in our...
