{Hope for the Home} Linky Party: 10,000 Reasons

In the last few months we have had LOTS of major changes in our lives. Two major ones being that our sweet baby girl, Mollie Kate, arrived on November 25th and my husband started a new church just a few weeks later.  One of the worship songs that we started singing in our services, from the very first meeting in a barn (I know!!) is Matt Redman's "10,000 Reasons".



I have always liked Matt Redman as both a song writer and worship leader. He lead worship at a camp we attended a few years ago and was fantastic. Erin and I even had the chance to meet him in Nashville!

But having the chance to go to the Passion conference last year and hearing this song for the first time, and then singing in worship with a group of people who are following God's leading to start a new church, has been indescribable.

I was going to make my own printable of these words, but one of my very favorite bloggers, Julie of Joy's Hope, created this beautiful printable.

It is going up in my house and I have printed several for friends who are experiencing some pretty heavy trials.  It is truly my prayer that "Whatever may pass and whatevet lies before me...let me be singing when the evening comes."

Where will you hang it in your home? Will you give it to a friend who is having some difficulties in life? You don't even have to print it - how about posting it to someone's Facebook wall for a little encouragement?
