This type of offering included an animal sacrifice as well as various sorts of cereal or bread offerings.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Living in the age of Grace, we are not required to do animal sacrifices. They were rendered obsolete by the blood of Christ!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, we can still express our thankfulness to God in prayer, and our conversations with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This thankfulness can bless others, just as it did in biblical times. Joy states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;After the Lord and the priest received their portions, the worshiper who brought the sacrifice would take the remaining portions of the meat and the bread and prepare a feast in which family and friends who were ritually pure could share. &#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, our thankfulness to God should be plentiful, and motivate us to share with others. Joy concludes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Maybe the kindness and generosity of God should be an impetus to get us to express to others the same kindness and generosity that we have experienced.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s live today with an attitude of thankfulness, including it in a whisper to God, and demonstrating it with our actions towards others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sacrifice of Thanksgiving \u201cI will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of the LORD.\u201d \u202d\u202dPsalms\u202c \u202d116:17\u202c \u202d Have you ever wondered what &#8220;the sacrifice of thanksgiving&#8221; means?
