Praise today

 

What is Praise?


The Oxford dictionary tell us that praise is expressing approval for someone or something or showing respect and gratitude, particularly towards God. Other words that can mean the same (synonyms) are worship, glory, exalt, honour.


We tell children 'well done' when we are pleased with them. 


We praise God because of who He is and what He has done. 


How do we praise?


We use songs and hymns in church to help us praise. Whilst we aren't at church there are loads of resources online, particularly YouTube.


🎜🎜🎝🎜🎜 These songs are good to remind us of all the amazing things God has done and who He is. King of Kings, Faithful One, Almighty, Saviour, and so many other names.
Many people find this the easiest way to express these ideas. 

But we don't have to sing to praise!
Maybe you are artistic and creative.

The Garden of Eden
Rainbow in the garden



The first picture was made at church in our Sunday school, Sunday Jam, and is a picture of the Garden of Eden and talks about God the creator.
The second picture is a rainbow I made in my garden and reminds us of Noah's Ark and the promises God made to never flood the world again.


Maybe you are good with words and like to write poems or stories. 
Or baking, or working, or ...
Everything we do can praise God if we thank Him that we are able to do it.


So if you can sing and dance and praise our wonderful, amazing God.

They dig in and hurt when you say them, and they keep hurting for sometime afterwards too. Kind words So what would be kind things to say?  Complements about something someone has done, made or said. Or grown, baked, drawn, mended . . . the list could go on forever Or that you like something they are wearing. This can be hard and against our natural inclination. I see people wearing something cool but I'm not brave enough to say, which is a shame because I feel good when someone says something to me. 👕    👠    👟    👖    👗 It could be caring words asking how someone is or offering help when it is needed. Concern is care as long as ...

Hope to hang on to

What is hope? The dictionaries say that Hope is a feeling and expectation that a particular thing is going to happen. Sometimes hope is assured and sometimes unlikely.  Maybe, you hope your favourite team will win a match. That can be likely to happen or you could be rather optimistic!  An older definition includes the idea of trust as well. So what is the hope that we have as Christians? Firstly, that if God has promised it, it will happen. We see God's promises in the bible in stories like Noah, Abraham and Joseph. Their lives included promises for the future, some of which we see come true in their lives and the lives of their families.                                                     🚢                 ✰                🌈 But our biggest Hope is rooted in Jes...
