Good day this is Michael De Rosa from the Mountainside Community Church in Newport, NH, and my text today is Ephesians 1:6

So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son.

Friend, there will just not be enough days to praise God for all that he has given us through Jesus Christ.  

Winning the lottery pales in light of what God has lavished upon us because regardless of the amount of money won,  regardless of all the items you purchase, of all the people you help:  it stops the day you die.  

And life’s brevity will be witnessed by those who look at your tombstone when they see that   dash between your date of birth and date of death

BUT, the spiritual blessings in Christ are eternal, and the joy of God’s presence will forever continue.  And the praise that wells up in the Believer’s soul is a simple and profound experiential recognition of the matchless grace of God that saved a sinner like us.
