Thanking God

I saw this post on Facebook this morning.
Its a great idea!
But how often do we actually spend a whole minute thanking God? A minute doesn't sound like a long time. A minute has somehow become more of an expression, a figure of speech. As long as we actually do an action, we say that we "took a minute" to do it. Have you ever spent 60 seconds specifically thanking God? Have you ever said thank you to anyone for 60 seconds?
Let's pause here for a min...um...moment...
I am not trying to lay a guilt trip on you.
We often take time to think of ways to say thank you, to think of what we are thankful for, to write notes of thanks...but it is harder than we realize to actually spend a minute SAYING "thank you."
You know who did a good job on that?
The Psalmists.
Check out Psalms 105, 106, 107, 136.
Some of those might even take 2 minutes to read!
The Lord bless you and give you MUCH to be thankful for!
