“Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son”
Don Moen
“When we give thanks we are in essence declaring, “I am not God.” It’s an admission: “Someone else has provided for me,
cared for me, sustained me, rescued me, forgiven me, and given me life.”
“To withhold praise and thanksgiving from God is to ignore the One from whom all blessings flow. It is to turn your nose up at
Sovereign Majesty and declare yourself king. It is to declare yourself God”
David Burnette
“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!”
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the Lord, he is God! 
It is he who made us, and we are his; 
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! 
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
For the Lord is good; 
his steadfast love endures forever, 
and his faithfulness to all generations.”
Psalm 100: 1-5
“I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the LORD!'”
Psalm 122:1

On our visit to St, Petersburg, Russia, The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood was a must see. The medieval Russian architecture houses 7500 square meters of mosaics completely covering the walls and ceilings…amazing, to say the least!
