He gives food to every living thing. His faithful love endures forever. (NLT) -Psalm 136:25
Have you given thanks to the Lord for your food? It's easy to rush quickly through a well-rehearsed prayer to enjoy the feast before you and your loved ones. Yet, the food we eat was given to us by a loving heavenly Father. Have you ever given thanks to God for yummy tomatoes in your salad or fresh guacamole with crispy chips? As odd as it may sound, these are provided to you from the Lord as a symbol of His love and it's an opportunity to express our gratitude. As you eat your next meal, what specifically are you grateful for?

Build my altar wherever I cause my name to be remembered, and I will come to you and bless you. (NLT) -Exodus 20:24
We can recall the times of God's faithfulness to us when we think back and count our blessings such as remission from cancer, a job transition, or the birth of a child. However, we can go a step further and proactively remind ourselves of His goodness. Have you ever built an altar to remind you of who God is and what He has done for you? Could you imagine walking through your home seeing a stone written with words commemorating each time God proved faithful? It is a proactive, physical way to jog your memory of God's faithfulness. When difficult times come, all you need to do is look around to see God's blessings you've long forgotten!

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
-Philippians 4:6-7
