help me to build more altars

i find that at most times i am forgetful.  i forget how good God has been to me, how much He has given me and how greatly He has blessed me.


i need to build more altars.


the israelites used to build altars of thanksgiving.  the cool part about this is when they came upon said altars again, they could remember what the LORD their God had done for them.  and then, and then, they could pass this knowledge on to future generations.


my father told me my uncle used to build altars.  literal ones..out of drift wood and such.  now im not that nifty nor that creative, but i like the idea of building altars, in order to remember.  maybe my writing can be an altar?? i dont know... all i know is that i want to remember more how good God has been to me so that when i forget, there is something there to remind me.
