Whenever I read Psalm 103, I hear the song "Bless the Lord" from Godspell. It's a joyful, upbeat song. It's a song that would be a wonderful way to start and end each day.
To start each day listing all the benefits God has given me. The benefits I can expect that day. And it would be good to tally up the things I take for granted....they are so easy to miss. You know things like: fresh air, clean water, daylight, my health, enough food to eat. Things that I take for granted but things that not everyone has.
And what a way to end each day: to take the time to list all the benefits that saw me through the day. Because even on my worst days, I still have: family and friends who love me, a home, clothes to keep me warm, a warm bed in which to sleep, fresh air, clean water, daylight, my health, enough food to eat.....
So many benefits that I accept casually and simply as a given. So many benefits that enable me to provide benefits for others.
Bless the Lord, O my Soul.
