Soul Glories

Mary says in her infamous song (Luke 1:46) "My soul glorifies the Lord..."
To my way of thinking, soul is defined as the seat of one's mind, will and emotions. That is, your thinker, your chooser and your feeler.
How many times does our mind, will and emotions glorify the Lord? I know for me, to have all three in simultanious agreement to glorify the Lord is not as often as I would like.
If my mind glorifies the Lord by my thoughts, my emotions may be focused on something else. And if my emotions glorify the Lord then sometimes my will is not because it is distracted in choosing to relish the good feelings rather than be in agreement with glorifying!
Oh that in 2009, we all will be able to intentionally say, 'My soul, my mind, my will, my emotions all glorify the Lord.'
