How big is my faith?

Mt. 16: Jesus talked about faith the size of a mustard seed.  In another reference the mustard see is described as the smallest of all seeds.  And my own faith needs to be only that size.  I doubt that it comes close most of the time.

Giving thanks

Reading in Mt. 14 & 15 yesterday where Jesus did the miracles of the feeding of 5000 and 4000.  He blessed and gave thanks for the food.  If the Son of God gave thanks to his heavenly Father, why shouldn't we, his earthly subjects, give thanks?  Even more, thankfulness should be an attitude.  Gratitude should be our demeanor.
