Psalm 116:17

Psalm 116:17 (TLB)-
I will worship you and offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving.

I like this verse a lot because of its reference to thanksgiving being a sacrifice.  I like it because sometimes it is not easy to be thankful. Yes, we always have something to thank and worship God for, but life is not always easy. Often it can be easier to see the world around us, falling apart and going wrong, rather than what God has done for us. However, no matter how bad it seems at the time, we should be making a point to come to God with thankful hearts. If you are reading this now, I can promise you that you are blessed! We have much to be thankful for. So when times are hard and you have to make that "sacrifice," just remember God knows and you've never left his mind!

Prayer:
Lord, I thank you for the many blessings in my life. Forgive me for the times I forget to look at you and rather choose to see my circumstances. I worship you for you are always with me. Amen

Psalm 16:7

Psalm 16:7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.

On a pretty regular basis my husband tells me of dreams he has. I am almost positive that God gives these to him to tell hm something. I know that there are times in my own life that God has used my dreams to tell me things.

As a blogger for Family Christian I get a chance to listen to many artists and CDs. I recently got "The Dream" by Sanctus Real. I wont lie, I really like the eclectic mix of this CD. There were several songs on here that were so fun. There were also several that were just ok, but a great CD overall. The song "Easier on My Heart" has a fun "80's" sound that I really like.It kind of reminds me of what the sound track of a dream might be. I am not sure if that is the reason behind the name, but it works for me! You can listen to this CD yourself by picking it up at familychristian.com or by entering the giveaway below!
