Enter into his gates with thanksgiving

On a bright morning, little David set out from the hilltop pasture and followed his father toward God's temple. Along the way, he saw a little lamb sleeping in a shepherd's arms, a grandfather and grandmother sitting in a garden, and a basket full of sweet fruit. When the golden gate sparkled in the sunlight, little David ran into God's courts, singing and giving thanks. He and his father offered fruit and flowers in gratitude before the altar. On the way home, he counted the stars that filled the sky and carried his thankful heart into a sweet dream.
