Thanking for the bathroom is still not good enough

This morning I woke up with a good feeling, shouting to God, "Thank you, God. I'm not dead!" as usual.
Then, all of a sudden, strong feeling came to me, saying that it is not good enough to just thank something that you can appreciate. When you say, "Thank you God, I'm not dead!", what is your idea to those who dies? You are not thinking about them, but only thinking about your "fortunate" situation. In other words, you are just being selfish when you say to God, "Thank you." What an irony!
Well, maybe this is pretty much high level of understanding God's heart. I can still start from what I can do at this point--to thank God for what you can appreciate--just like an innocent child. I think that's ok. Even I heard that someone said that you should be like an innocent child in order to go to Heaven. We can start from there humbly, and the more we appreciate God, the deeper our relationship will be, and the deeper part of God's heart will be accessible to us. Such heart--like a parent. When one child suffers, your heart aches. Then I cannot just say thank you God without paying attention to that child.
I think it takes time, and we can do step by step: Say Yes to God; One Yes at a time.
