"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." -Isaiah 9:6 In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare wrote, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet." But that is not exactly true because each word has a slightly different meaning or connotation. The use of a slightly different word in a situation is often how misunderstandings begin. Each word God speaks is carefully crafted. He is purposeful and He always says what He means.

All month long I've been sharing with you how we can become thankful and praise God even in the storm. There is a saying I've seen all month long that gives us some insight as to why: It's not happy people who are thankful It's thankful people who are happy I think I'd change one word of this though.

It's time for Friday Funnies here on the Art of Eloquence blog. Since we've been talking about being thankful and praising God this month, I'd like to share one of my favorite YouTube videos. This adorable little girl says a prayer to Jesus, thanking God for her Mac-N-Cheese and several other things. My favorite part is at the beginning when she just can't help herself and leans over to eat a macaroni before finishing her prayer. Too cute!
I pray this short video uplifts your spirit if you are struggling with something this month. Enjoy a Prayer for Mac-N-Cheese!
