As our hearts turn toward gratitude, let us recall the reminders Scripture gives us about living thankful lives.

Before we hurry into Christmas, Paul reminds us how rich true gratitude is. He never thanked God for things—but for people transformed by Christ.

Looking back, we can see countless moments where God’s hand protected and guided us—reminders that He has always been on our side.

While our experiences may differ, we can relate to these situations, whether it's being lost in life, trapped by addiction, making poor decisions, or facing personal storms—God is present in all of these moments to guide, release, and restore us.

"Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!”
