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.

Some people leave fingerprints of faith on our hearts that never fade. Paul reminds us that God continues the good work He began in us—and through us—until the day Christ returns. The influence of a faithful life never stops echoing in eternity.

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.

Wishing you all a joyful Thanksgiving, filled with gratitude and love, knowing that God loves you deeply and is always with you.

While we should be thankful for the daily blessings we see, we must also remember to express profound gratitude for the eternal foundation given to us in Jesus Christ, which sustains and strengthens us.

“Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the Lord.”

The name of this holiday helps us focus hearts and minds on the divine source of every good gift that comes from above.

Everyone admires the lofty spires and beautiful cut glass windows of a magnificent mansion. But how often do we thank the engineer and architect for its most important part, the part we cannot see?

If I don’t check myself, my stress robs me of considering all the things God has done for us and given to us.
