Are we thankful for who people are and not what they do? I think it is this way with children. It should be this way with spouses. But is it really?
So, this morning I read Psalm 54 this morning. The second part of verse 6 really stuck out for me. "I will give thanks to Your name, O Lord, for it is good." Actually, let me quote all of verse 6 because it is a great verse.
Psalm 54:6
"Willingly I will sacrifice to You; I will give thanks to Your name, O Lord, for it is good."
So you have a willing sacrifice, and a spirit of thankfulness. I just think it is great how he gives thanks just because of who God is, not based on what God has done. I usually give thanks for the blessings God has given me, but I need to be thankful just for who God is.

good point. most of the time when i pray, it's for something or because of something, but i also usually put in praise to God for He is holy or bc He is wonderful, etc. But we should apply that to people, especially spouses. bobby, i'm glad you're my brother!
