"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. (Psalm 100:4-5)
In Robins Reader, Frank W. Mann Jr. writes: "An enlightening pastime is to make a list of
favorite things that impact the senses. It sharpens our appreciation of these golden moments in
time. For example, one person's list of ten favorite sounds are: 'A distant train whistle; a mother
talking to her new baby; the scrunch of leaves on a bright autumn day; seagulls crying; a hound
baying in the woods at night; the absolute silence of a mountain lake at sunset; a cracking fire on a
bitter cold day; a stadium crowd singing the national anthem; the screech of an airplane's tires as
they touch down; his wife's voice at morning.'"
God gave us our five senses and filled His creation with pleasures for each sense. Our God is good. Let us praise His name and be thankful to Him.
