Dear Lord; Good morning Father!<\/p>\n
Well Father, today marks week three that I\u2019m celebrating \u201cThankful Thursday\u201d<\/em> here at PhatherPhil.org!\u00a0 I\u2019m really enjoying these weekly postings, as it gets my head focused on all the wondrous Blessings You\u2019ve granted me.\u00a0 Starting my day thinking \u201cWhat am I truly thankful for today?\u201d<\/em> is an excellent frame of mind to be in for the morning ahead.<\/p>\n Today Father, I\u2019d like to thank You for the inspiration and encouragement I receive each day through the wonderful avenue of Christian Music.\u00a0 Over the last several months I\u2019ve switched to almost exclusively listening to Contemporary Christian Music each day, and it\u2019s brought an amazing change to my mood and perspective.\u00a0 Between the local radio station we listen to in the car, to streaming K-Love<\/a> on my computer at work, to the Contemporary Christian Music Channel on our digital cable TV I leave on in the background during the evening hours, my ears are filled with songs praising You for much of my day.\u00a0 I never have to be concerned with the content not being appropriate for my children, and we\u2019re all the better for having this melodious form of worship going on while being entertained by such marvelous artists.<\/p>\n Jonathan and I even have tickets to see the Newsboys<\/a> with Kutless<\/a> and Disciple<\/a> in a couple weeks!\u00a0 He\u2019s become a big Newsboys fan, and this is his first concert of any kind so he\u2019s extra excited (ok\u2026 so am I.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42 ).\u00a0 As I\u2019ve mentioned to You before, listening to my boys sing these songs of praise along with the radio in the mornings on the way to school just warms my heart to no end.\u00a0 This music is truly a Blessing, and makes a wonderful impact on our lives each day.<\/p>\n I think this piece of scripture states it beautifully Father:<\/p>\n \u201cSing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous; We do, and it is.\u00a0 Thank You Lord!<\/p>\n Amen.<\/p>\n ~Phather Phil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Lord; Good morning Father!
