Thankfulness

Psalms 50:14-15 Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God, and keep the vows you made to the Most High. Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory.

I have probably read this chapter in Psalms many times, but never picked up on this. I know we don't make physical sacrifices anymore, but God is saying that even if we were it is our hearts that matter to Him. We can make all the sacrifices we want and claim we are making them for God, but God knows our hearts. 

I want to live my life in a constant state of thankfulness. I want to thank God for the large blessings in my life as well as the small blessings. 

Thankfulness list for today:
1. All of our needs are met
2. Friends I can turn to when I want to share sorrows, frustrations and joys
3. Automated postage machines at the post office (the kind that weighs your package and prints out a shipping label and is available 24 hours per day)
4. At least two more months on my car's warranty 
5. A healthy family
