You all talk like man is above God and that man has ever right to define Him. God is praise worth for many reasons, but this simple one should mean something to all, He allowed you this day, that's something to praise Him for, He could have left you in bed very, very dead. I think you two need to completely rethink who God is, maybe from the point that you are no more than a grasshopper compared to Him, yet He loves you. So God does not have to earn your praise, He does want it but does not need it, everyone owes Him praise.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
