Sacrifice of Praise

I grew up singing the song, "we bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord..." and didn't, until yesterday, understand exactly what the sacrifice of praise meant. Yesterday a New Staffer from Washington led us in worship. The night before, he found out that his wife lost the baby that she was carrying. While waiting for his flight home, Phil was around for one last chapel out here, and he wanted to lead worship. Completely broken and humble before the Lord, Phil still stood in praise. A sacrifice of praise.

It was a beautiful and painful moment for everyone.
