Give thanks to the Lord!
Giving thanks to the Lord, for all things, can be a changing moment in our relationship with God. He is the God of our salvation.
We were created in His image. Therefore we have the same type of feelings as God.
So yes when we don't follow His house rules, like our earthly parents, I believe He would be upset with us. Maybe even broken hearted at times. 

Like anyone else gratitude is pleasing to the soul.
God longs for us to show gratitude to Him.
Today lets show appreciation for the gift of salvation that was given to us.
Let us return kindness to God.
Shout to the Lord "THANK YOU LORD GOD FOR SALVATION"
God sent His Son for our Sins.
No matter how much we mess up, His mercy will endure.
Yes He is the Lord God of Israel. But He is also our God.
He is everlasting to everlasting.

When there sees too be no hope, and your life feels heavy.
Like an old country song.
You know car broke down, lost your job, your health is failing,
doubt, confusion and it all hits at one time. No matter how hard we try to get things to together, sometimes life seems like its falling apart.

It is important to remember that God has everything under control.
This is the time to seek God. In every situation we should seek GOD. Going to him in Prayer and Giving Him thanks, for this is the will of God. This pleases GOD.

 For the season here on earth is short. The human situations are like a blink of the eye to the Lord. Our eternity is what we should be focusing on.

Prayer
Eternal God, we thank you for everything you do for us. Including this life and all our needs you supply in every situation. We are grateful for the beautiful gift of eternal life, Through your son Jesus Christ. Guide us Lord, so that we might always be able to find things to give you Thanks. Amen.

AWAKEN WITH EXPECTATION OF THE GOOD THINGS THE LORD HAS INSTORE

Psalms 100

Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the Lord, He is God.
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves.
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations

Total attitude adjustments can make a big difference in the outcome of your day.  Waking up with expectations of Good things to happen because the Lord is in charge of  all things, including the storms, circumstances and
our future destiny.

By starting your day with Thanking the Lord for His goodness, this can change your whole atitude for the day. Giving the Lord Praise when we enter into a new day, can make a world of difference.

Upon awakening, if we look out the window, and let that be our deciding factor of our day. we are allowing our circustances or sorroundings to dictate our destiny for the day.

We should be awaken with Joy in the Lord. With expectation of what God has instore for us.
If we look outside and see the foggy, cold rainy day. Are we going to allow that to determeine our day, How is that pleasing to the Lord?
He wants us to put off complaining, grumbling and Snippiness, ( Philippians 2:12-18 ) If we want the Holy Spirit to lead us in pure Joy, it can come from our gratitude to the Lord.  Having an irritable attitude, could withhold the Lords presence for day. It is important for us to put away the grumbling and complaining, Start the day with Thanks, gratitude, Praise and Rejoicing before the Lord is In this way we please the Lord. 

Psalms 118:24
This is the day the Lord has made
We will rejoice and be glad in it!

( Philippians 2:12-18 )
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,  holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.
Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.
