As we gather around the table this Thanksgiving, let us take a moment to reflect on the many blessings in our lives. Scripture reminds us in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 to “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” This verse challenges us to cultivate a spirit of gratitude, not just in moments of abundance but also through trials and uncertainties.
A Heart of Thanksgiving: Embracing Gratitude in Every Season
Thanksgiving is a beautiful opportunity to acknowledge God’s faithfulness whether it’s the laughter of loved ones, the warmth of home, or the small victories we experience each day, every good gift comes from above (James 1:17).
In a world often focused on what we lack, let us shift our perspective to what we have—our relationships, our health, and our faith. This season, make it a point to express your gratitude not only to God but also to those around you. A simple “thank you” can uplift spirits and strengthen bonds.
As we celebrate, let our hearts overflow with thankfulness, remembering the ultimate gift of grace we receive through Jesus. May our lives reflect His love. May gratitude shape our every day, creating a ripple effect of joy and hope in our communities.
Two Gifts Just for You
We want to say Thank You for your prayers and generous contributions. Your compassion for those in need has profoundly impacted the fight against extreme poverty. You are a vital part of sharing sustainable hope and Christ’s love with families in need.
To express our gratitude, some of the kids you have cared for this year have created a special video just for you. We hope it brings joy and blessings to you and your family this holiday season.
As we express our gratitude this Thanksgiving, let’s also look ahead. How can we carry this spirit of thankfulness into the new year? Let’s commit to making gratitude a daily practice and inspiring others to do the same. Together, we can foster a culture of generosity and compassion in our communities.
