All Saints Day!

     Greetings and blessings to you in the name of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, on this All Saints Day.  The Psalm for today is Psalm 150 and how perfect fitting.  The entire psalm is about praising God.  I wrote the liturgy for today and threw in a lot of extra singing.  We are singing some of my favorite hymns.  It is a day all about praising God.  Praising God in thanksgiving for all the faithful Christians who have come before us.  Praising God in thanksgiving for the Lamb of God who gives us His salvation through His very own blood.  Praising God now here on earth, knowing some day we will praise Him before His throne with the great multitude.  Let everything that has breath praise the Lord, I will say it again, let everything that has breath praise the Lord!! AMEN!  
    Stop and think!  God promised Abraham his offspring would be like the stars in the sky or the sand of the ocean.  Too many to count!!  In Revelation today we see a great multitude that no one can count!  God kept His promise, His children, the offspring of Abraham, are too many to count.  You and I are two individuals in that great multitude.  So we could say we are just one in a innumerable crowd, or we can stop and realize that God already had billions of children who He brought into the faith and made His own, and yet He decided to choose us as one more.  His offspring was not complete without us, He was not satisfied without calling you into the faith.  God has called you, He has made you His own, and He has given you eternal life and salvation through the death of the Lamb, Jesus Christ.  I think as we remember all of that, it is only fitting we bust out in praise.  Let all that has breath praise the Lord. Amen.  I hope you praise the Lord loudly on this special day.
