John and Doves,

Here is a quote from Derek Prince which raises the bar for our Christian walk. I read it often.

"Let me give you this piece of advise:  practice being thankful.

Let the grace of God be poured upon your lips.

Don't be a grumbler.

Don't be a complainer.

Don't be always emphasizing the negative.

Don't be critical or unthankful.

Let the grace of God make you thankful---fill your lips with praise, and enable

yourself to admonish and teach your fellow believers."

"God dwells in the praises of His people."

Psalm 22:3

"Whoso offers praise glorifies Me.

And to him that ordereth his conversation aright

will I show the Salvation of God."

Psalm 50:23
