The word I have chosen today for the letter H in my alphabet challenge is HALLELUJAH.... a shout or song of praise to God. However sometimes it's not used that way - how often have you said 'hallelujah' when you finished a task, or last exam, or a shift at work and I am sure God won't mind, I think He would accept the sentiment in which its was said - a thankful exclamation. Praising God and singing or shouting Hallelujah is a wonderful way to share your love for Him. Some Christian praise services people shout out Hallelujah or Praise God when moved by the Holy Spirit to do so - truth be told you don't hear of that in many Presbyterian churches, when I visit Lynne in USA it is common in the church she often worships in on Saturday nights. If something brings you joy today or you finish a task or you walk an extra mile or finish your daily workout DVD - if you complete something you never thought you would then feel free to shout Hallelujah. If you want to just give God thanks and praise for His undying love then do that too. Hallelujah, God is love, He loves me and He loves you, what's not to shout Hallelujah about

God loves you - No Matter What
PRAYER: hallelujah, hallelujah and hallelujah what a great and loving God You are and what a privilege it is for me to know you as my Heavenly Father, my friend, my companion, my Saviour and Lord. Hallelujah what a Saviour. Amen
CHORUS: ( do the actions ) if there is more than one of you singing this. One stands up for the Hallelu's then the other stands up for the Praise ye the Lord. Then swap
Hallelu , hallelu, hallelu, hallelujah
Praise the the Lord
Hallelu, hallelu, hallelu, hallelujah
Praise ye the Lord.
Praise ye the Lord,
Hallelujah,
Praise ye the Lord,
Hallelujah,
Praise ye the Lord,
Hallelujah
Praise ye the Lord.

The word I have chosen today for the letter G in my alphabet challenge is GRATEFULNESS. I am positive that even in the midst of this pandemic and Lockdown there are lots you can be grateful for. Take a moment later today to list all the people, all the things, all the situations you are grateful for, I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised at the length of the list. I have spoken to many people during this time who said they will never take so many things for granted again. I hope that continues after this because I think grateful people are happier more content people. I am grateful for many things in my life, family and friends .....I am especially grateful I worship a God who is a God of Love, a God who doesn't keep a score of wrongs - otherwise I would be top of the list ☹️. I am grateful to be the minister of Jackson and serve in a caring community, I'll stop there and make my list later otherwise I would go on for a long time
I hope your list brings a smile to your face and warms your heart. Rev Kay
God loves you - No Matter What
PRAYER: Lord God I am grateful that each new morning brings new blessings from You. I am grateful for the Easter message and the truth and promises it contains. I am sorry for the days I think there is nothing in my life to be grateful for because deep down I know there is. Thank You Lord for being with me this day no matter what it holds. Amen
CHORUS:
Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son
Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son
And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us"
And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us"
Give thanks....

The word I have chosen today for the letter F in my alphabet challenge is FUN. I decided that today we should all have some FUN. So I have set you a challenge - think of 3 ways you could have fun today.
Fill in the blanks in your head. I will have fun today by doing:
A..........
B..........
C..........
Doing fun things can often brighten up the dreariest of days. Doing fun things can make all the worries you are carrying seem lighter - even if it's for a wee while. Doing fun things make memories. Doing fun things is just fun . I think it pleases our Father in heaven when He sees His children having fun. Think about how you feel when you see children having fun, it can lift your spirits or maybe even make you feel a bit nostalgic of your own childhood. We are all children at heart no matter our age - so today your minister 'instructs' you to have FUN and enjoy it.

God love you - No Matter What.
PRAYER: God today as I have some fun, thank You for sharing it with me. I hope it makes You smile as You share my joy. I get great pleasure and joy Lord from knowing You, You fill my whole being with joy and love, thank You for the gift of laughter and the benefit of fun. Amen
CHORUS:
Joy, joy, my heart is full of joy,
Joy, joy, my heart is full of joy,
My Saviour dear is ever near,
That's the reason why my heart is full of joy.
