through all generations ...

A psalm. For giving thanks.

Shout for Joy to the Lord, all the earth.

Worship the Lord with Gladness;
come before Him with Joyful songs.

Know that the Lord is God.
It is He who made us, and we are His;
we are His people, the sheep of His pasture.

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.
~Psalms 100


I cannot forget nor do I want too how this verse was the last verse this missionary couple had together that morning before the rebels who kidnaped them killed her husband. When I get inside this moment, I come away with how much comfort it would bring me knowing that he entered His Eternal Gates shouting thanksgiving. This haunted me and brought me comfort with the earthly loss of my Grandma. It brings me comfort for each day... this is what I hope to leave behind in my loved ones... I hope to make this a tradition beginning when we gather together ... watching His Faithfulness passing through the generations ...and entering His Gates with Thankgiving ... His Courts with Praise .. together
