Good Morning Girls!  This morning started like any morning.  Max was standing by my side of the bed, nose 2 inches from my face, wagging his tail letting me know it's time to get up and let him outside.  I sat up, put my right foot down, put my left foot down, and THUD!  I dropped to the floor like a ton of bricks!  My leg was asleep, but I had no idea of that when I tried to stand up.  Tom sat up "what was that?".  "It's me" I say from a small voice on the floor.  I was a little shocked.  I must have looked like a deer in the headlights.  My next thought was "Lord, if you wanted me to worship you this morning, all you had to do was ask".  Of course, that got me laughing hard as I think I am pretty funny at 7am lying helplessly on the floor not yet having caffeine in my system with a dog licking me wondering what is going on and don't I understand he has to pee?  A few minutes later, after the coffee was brewing, and my morning routine was back on track, I kept thinking about my one-liner to the Lord.  I was trying to think of the last time I truly did just sit and worship Him.  When is the last time, outside of church, that I took the time to worship just how awesome He is?  When is the last time I didn't give the Lord a couple of "You are so great and mighty kudos sandwiched around a bunch of Can you help me's?"  When is the last time, I simple loved on Him, without asking for anything at the same time?"  My sister and niece were over the other day.  My niece said "Mom, you are the best mom ever."  My sister replied "What do you want now?".  I can only assume from this interaction that my niece lifts my sister up only when she wants something in return.   This morning got me thinking whether or not I have treated the Lord the same way.  You know, it's nice when our kids or our spouse acknowledge the things we do for them.  It feels good when they say "you are the greatest", and don't follow that with a request.  It makes me want to do something special for them when I know they appreciate and love me.  How much more does our Heavenly Father deserve to know how much we simply love and honor Him?  Spend some time with the Lord today just letting Him know how much you love Him.  Don't over spiritualize it.  You don't need to leap and dance and play the lyre like David. Just thank Him, honor Him, and lay your needs aside for a moment.  He knows what you need, and He will take care of you! 

Psalm 95:6 Come, let us worship and bow down.  Let us kneel before the Lord our maker, for He is our God.

Love you all-
