It was the year of angry birds domination. The popular game is the most-downloaded mobile app of 2011, rounding out the list of top 10 apps of the year ahead of Facebook, Twitter and Fruit Ninja.

A new report from mobile analytics app company Distimo looked at data on downloads across all platforms such as iOS and Android, and also factored in the free and paid versions of the apps. Angry Birds made the list not only once, but three times, thanks to its Rio and Seasons editions.

Psalm 100:1-5

A psalm. For giving grateful praise.

"Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations."

What does God's Story scripture teach us about making room for Jesus?

God wants to be a part of every part of our lives. He also desires praise from our lives. As we look at our year in review i brings to mind the thought..."what am I thankful for?" , "what has happened in my life this year that I need to give God the Glory?" Time and time again people praise God for what he has done for them. Is this an art that we are forgetting as we fill our lives with our own top ten things that distract us from God? I know I get distracted by TV, App, angry birds, facebook, and many more, but have I taken the time to truly praise God this year? Have I been to distracted to realize the work He has done in my life. Yes, Yes I have. Yet as I look back on 2011 I cannot help but be amazing at the things both big and small he has done in my life, I see his faithfulness, I see that "His love endures forever" in my life. For this and much more I have to SHOUT for joy, and be thankful for the year God has been so present in. 

How can I connect today's God's Story scripture to my life?

Has something the lord has done in your life in 2011 made your top ten list? Take time to think of the highlights of your year, are they answers to prayers, was God present in those moments? Take time to praise God for the things He has blessed you with this year. Put aside those toys you have received for Christmas, and stop playing games long enough to give grateful praise to the God who created you and gave you such an amazing year. 

How can I connect Today's story, God's Story, and My Story with others?

Ask your friends if they have heard any Top ten/50/100 of 2011, and which ones have they enjoyed the most. Ask your friends about the top ten best moments of thier year.

Share some of your top moments, and do not be afraid to share moments where God blessed your life. Pray for your friends that they may see that God's work in your life.
