November Newsletter: Gratitude News!

November is Thanksgiving month in the U.S., and I am so thankful for you!

This month’s newsletter looks a little different because I am using the email platform on my Offering Tree website.  Let me know if you like it better, or if you are seeing my news for the first time.  If you don’t wish to receive my monthly news, feel free to “unsubscribe” at the link at the bottom of this email, and my feelings will not be hurt (much 😆).

In my in-person classes last week, we explored these verses from Psalm 107:

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.

Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies.

For he has gathered the exiles from many lands, from east and west, from north and south.

Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them.

For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.

This seems an appropriate verse to meditate on in these uncertain times. It also calls on us to "speak out" about our faith. Have you thought about your “redemption story?” If you had the opportunity to share it, what would you say? If nothing comes immediately to your mind, perhaps you might like to bring this question to God this week.

Having gratitude for what we have been given is so important for our own well-being. It’s so easy to let our cares and the negativity that surrounds us every day get to us and lead us down a dark path. Our enemy would like nothing more than for us to follow that path into darkness and depression. Gratitude truly is the antidote! 

Plus, a grateful heart naturally spills over, enabling you to share more of God’s goodness through giving in so many ways.  As Christians, isn't that what we are called to do?
